Eye Exam? Safe during second trimester?

I have an eye appointment tomorrow and I was told it's okay to get my pupils dilated. Is this true?

    Yes, you can. Just let your eye doctor know your pregnant.

    being pregnant can change the shape of your eye temporarily.  I am waiting until a couple months after I deliver to go back so I don't end up there again before my year's up.

    I have heard it is okay, but my doctor chose not to dialate my eyes to be safe. I was fine with that!

    This is actually on my list to ask the OB at my next appt.

    My dr specifically asked if I was pregnant or nursing. I was only like 6 weeks at the time and he said they do not dilate in anyone pregnant or nursing. I had the rest of the exam though just fine.

    i went at about 8 weeks and my eye dr also opted not to dilate my eyes. he did use the numbing drops to check the pressure, though.
