The Chairman of the Federal Reserve Ben S. Bernanke has embraced a weak dollar policy. And he is not alone. The weak dollar mantra is very much in evidence on most of the boulevards and in the back alleys of Washington, D.C. The idea even has a certain appeal to the common man on the street. After all, a cheap dollar is advertised as an export stimulant and the fuel for an economic boom.
How long do dilating drops last? Dilating eye drops used for examination of the eye usuallylast from 4 to 24 hours, depending upon the strength of the drop and upon the individual patient. Pupil dilation tends to last longer in people with lighter colored eyes (irides), and occasionally a childâs eyes may stay dilated for longer than 24 hours.
At Rosemore Eye Care, we provide the option to have an Optomap image taken in place of a dilated examination. Not only does this mean that you wonât have to deal with being dilated for the next 4-6 hours, but also if some problem were to arise in the future, we would have this image to refer to for comparison. We charge $35 for the Optomap. Dilation is considered the standard of care for a routine eye examination.
