Dilation in getting accurate prescriptions
by susannah123, Oct 03, 2008 11:18AM
My pre-schooler just visited an optometrist and had her eyes dilated. Then a prescription (-1.5 for both eyes) was given. I was alittle taken aback that she was short-sighted at this early age. So, I went to another optometrist for a second opinion. This time around, her eyes were not dilated. However, the prescription given was slightly higher (-2.0 for both eyes). Question - which prescription should I follow: the one given when her eyes were dilated OR it doesn't really matter as the difference is not great? Much thanks!
