pupil dilation pre-cautions

by clydeinsf, Jul 27, 2008 11:44PM

I recently had my pupils dilated during a eye exam. I was told my eyes would be sensative to sunlight and my vision would be blurred if I read, and they were; however, I worked on the computer afterwards and while the screen was bright, it didn't seem to bother me.  

Is there any problem, or risk, associated with working on a computer while one's pupils are dilated?

My eyes seem sensative to the light now, and not as adaptable to darkness, so I am not sure if I might have done some harm, or if I am just being overly focused on my vision because I am unsure of my imprudence.

No way to damage them at all. Do what you want while the drops wear off.
