Can you drive after a glaucoma test?
I’ve got a glaucoma test coming up next week, and I’m not sure exactly what to expect. I know the test takes a couple of hours, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to drive afterward or if I need to ask my wife to come to the appointment with me. Will I be able to drive when the test is over?

It’s great that you’re preparing for the test in advance! Here’s the simple answer: you can drive yourself home after a glaucoma test, but it’s probably best to have somebody else drive you instead.
Each person’s eyes react differently to exams—some people can see clearly after just a few minutes, other people have fuzzy vision for the rest of the day. This is because a major part of a glaucoma test is the dilated eye exam.
During a dilated eye exam, your doctor will give you eye drops that cause your pupils to become much wider. After the exam, it’ll take your pupils a while to shrink back to normal size, and the light might play tricks on you until then.
At the end of the day, it’s up to you—but if you don’t want to sit in the doctor’s office and wait for your eyes to adjust after your appointment, we think it’s a great idea to have your wife drive you back home.
While you’re in the waiting room before your appointment, take 45 seconds to revisit your insurance rate with
