Getting Regular Eye Care While Pregnant<\/h2>\n

Just because you are expecting a baby doesn’t mean you have to put off your regular eye exam! You can have your eyes safely dilated while you are pregnant.<\/p>\n

If you suffer from any pre-existing eye conditions, like glaucoma, high blood pressure or diabetes, it’s very important to tell your eye doctor that you are pregnant. Your eye doctor may watch closely for changes in your vision during this exciting time in your life.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]
