Guest guest Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I'm not sure what the condition of your child's eyes are, but I refused them for my daughter. She put up such a fight that they could barely open her eyelids just to look in her eyes anyway. The doctor went along with it. After a brief look, proclaimed her eyes fine and then she was qualified for preschool services. In case you were wondering about the ingredients, here is a Material Data Safety Sheet you can look at for the primary ingredient: http://redpoll.pharmacy.ualberta.ca/drugbank/drugBank/drugFile/msds/A PRD00893.pdf Unless you think there is something seriously wrong with your child's vision, I would refuse it. > > My son has an appt tomorrow for an eye exam and will be getting eye > drops for dialation.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I don't know about the names but I do know that you can refuse the eye drops. I don't let them put drops in my eyes and they have fits but when it comes down to it they can do almost everything they need without the drops. It is a little more difficult for them but not impossible. I am always checked for glocoma(sp). Sandy M. > > My son has an appt tomorrow for an eye exam and will be getting eye > drops for dialation.
