I had a lasik screening and they had to do it. They put these drops in your eyes which forces your pupils to dilate to the max so they can get a nice peek at your retina and everything inside. It feels so strange as if your eyes are just WIDE open. Open your eyelids as far as they can go and imagine feeling like that for hours.
You're ultra sensitive to light (obviously) at that point and you need to wear sunglasses if you go outside. It also makes you temporarily far sighted and lasted almost 8 hours for me.
The eye is an odd thing.

They have two types of drops. One is very short-term, the longer-term typically lasts about 6 hours. I never felt like my eyes were wide open, everything was just slightly blurry, which is normal and is why you're not allowed to drive after having them dilated.
