I just got my eyes dilated with Cyclopentolate 1% Ophthalmic Solution 15ml for the first time. It's weird not being able to see clearly. The pharmacist gave me a list of side effects to watch for, but I'm curious if anyone has any tips on dealing with the temporary blindness and sensitivity to light. How long does it usually last? What can I do to be more comfortable? Also, I'm curious about the rare but serious side effects listed. Has anyone experienced any of these? If so, how soon after use did the symptoms appear? I'm a bit worried about having a bad reaction. How common are these serious side effects? Any advice would be appreciated!
