How is the glare test done?

Question

Wondering just how the glare test is done. Will my eyes be dilated?

Robert T. Lin, MD · Answer

Your eyes do not need to be dilated for the glare test. You'll be sat in a darkened exam room looking at a light circle with and without your prescriptions to compare the effect of glares/halo.

it's just a standardized light with concentric circles You won't be dilated for this test If you were it wouldn't be accurate
