Absolutely! Many eye diseases can be present in the eye and may not affect your central vision. Conditions such as glaucoma, rarely have symptoms and can only be picked up with a thorough eye examination. Eye diseases, just like diseases of the body, are best detected in the earliest stage to avoid or minimize visual impairment.

Dilation of the eye is an important part of the eye exam as it will allow the doctor to thoroughly exam all part of the eye. The best anaolgy is this: imagine that you are trying to look at the detail of a room. It is much harder to view the components while looking through the keyhole versus opening the door and taking a peek around. The side effects of pupil dilation are generally minimal and typically include blurry vision and a sensitivity to light for few hours after their eyes have been dilated. You close vision may particularly be affected; consider avoiding any close work (ie: reading, knitting, etc) for a few hours after dilation.
