I know this is a super specific question and I won't be the least bit surprised if I don't get a good answer. I'm mainly just curious.
I have an eye exam tomorrow and it occurred to me that I probably shouldn't take anything before going in. Obviously opiates/ opioids constrict your pupils. Aside from having to explain your constricted pupils to the eye doctor, I was just wondering what kind of effect being on opioids might have on the exam. Maybe they would just postpone the exam. Then again, some people with severe pain have to be on them all the time. Anyone who wears glasses knows that they dilate your pupils for the exam, so I'm guessing there must be some kind of relevant effect. I'm just glad I remembered this because it could've easily slipped my mind. I won't be taking anything beforehand. The appointment is in the afternoon. I've never really paid attention to how long your pupils stay constricted after a dose, so I'm also wondering how many hours before the appointment I should avoid taking anything. But just to be safe, I'm not going to take anything anyways. I'm just curious.
