I've had my eyes dialated a couple of times over the years, then I switched eye doctors and my new doctor has never dialated my eyes. My DH went to our old doctor and again, he got his eyes dialated. So, I do wonder what it is about dialating eyes that is so important to one doctor but not the next. I remember them putting something in my eye that did sting. But I thought it was a dye to check for any abrasions, but it could have been the dialating solution. I am near sighted. I have been told I can thank years of computer work for that.
And now I suppose YT is a contributor too.
