Many thanks for your reply.

Do you know whether the drops used by optometrists / eye doctors to

dilate pupils or any other drops they use in an eye exam are safe?

Or do they contain mercury (possibly as a preservative) or any other

thing that could be dangerous to someone with severe Hg toxicity?

Once again thank you.

Boy am I stupid.....I never thought of eye drops and what ingredients

are in them and I go every three months for pressure checks and every 6

months for extensive testing. The ophthalmologist I go to is a friend

of mine, so I know I would be told the truth about the ingredients and

would be shown written information on them. Next time I'm there I will

ask...I'm curious..as they must have some preservative in them as they

are not single dose vials. Being the beta blocker eye drops I was on

created serious problems with me, I should have wondered about the

dilation drops that are used. V
