Before this test
This is general information about how the exam is usually done, not medical advice for you or your family member. Requirements vary by center and by individual health history — always follow the center's own instructions and your own doctor's guidance, especially for any medicine change.
May or may not need dilating eye drops beforehand; the scan itself takes about 5 to 10 minutes and involves resting your head on a support.
Mention when booking: Mention any eye pain, halos around lights, or a narrow drainage angle or angle-closure glaucoma history.
Afterwards: If drops were used, vision may be blurry and light-sensitive for a few hours; have someone else drive. Sudden eye pain, headache, blurred vision or halos after dilation need urgent care.
