Dilation and eye problems.

[Guest guest]

I would like to connect with anyone who has had a negative reaction after having

a dilation at the eye doctors. My response to the dilation was (not

surprisingly), a normal one. It took a week for the symptoms to calm down, I

became immediately light sensitive and now have to wear sunglasses to look at a

computer screen. Although I have always resisted any applications to my eyes

and dilation in the past, I felt it important since developing diabetes to have

one done. I also started a medication for my stomach Pantoprazole and had a

rare allergic reaction with a sudden spike in my blood pressure and increased

light sensitivity. Having porphyria I know that we can become light sensitive

but up until the dilation I was okay. I would like to hear from other people

who may have had negative reactions to dilation and anyone who has diabetes or

taken the drug Pantoprazole. Thanks, - Helen M
