Common Questions about Fundus Photography
Your pupils will be dilated with eye drops. You will then sit in front of a specialized camera, rest your chin on a support, and look at a fixation light while the photographer takes flash pictures of your eye.
The photography itself takes only a few minutes. However, pupil dilation requires about 15-30 minutes to take effect before the photos can be taken.
Because your eyes will be dilated, your vision will be blurry, and you will be sensitive to light for a few hours. It is recommended to bring a pair of sunglasses and have someone else drive you home.
