Has anyone ever had a bad reaction to the numbing or dialating drops they use in the eye doctor's office?  Just wondering since I've had a pretty strong allergic reaction to something and I'm trying to narrow it down.  I am sensitive to a lot of things including some medications.

Yes, I had the worst headache for several hours (not the "slight headache that would go away soon" like they said).

So now I just tell them what happened and they use something else now that doesn't give me any side effects.

Re: Eye Drop Reaction Question

ask them if it was preservative free, I have severe allergies to the preservatives in eye drops
