If your pupils are dialated and its sunny can it damage the eye?

I've often wondered this.

Anybody have any insight? (excuse the pun)

Not unless you look directly at the sun...in which case it doesn't matter if your pupils are dilated or not :wink:

But answer this:
When your eyes are dialated, does this increase the ratio of peripheral vision to direct vision?

I wouldn't think so...as the retina is responsible for what is peripheral vision and what is central vision. The distribution of cone cells in the retina is mostly towards the center, with the peripheral areas having mostly rods cells. :wink:

But consider the fact that with dialated pupiles, more light can enter from the sides at an angle and still reach the center of the retina.
It's all so confusing! :nut:

It is not good for your eye, no. When I last got my contacts fitted, I had a yellow liquid administered to my eye which induced dialation. I was told wear dark sunglasses for the next few hours to protect them from uv rays. Whether that's to protect their asses, I don't know, but it certainly hurt when I didn't listen to them at first.

This is why it's always a bad idea to use psychedelics during the day when there's no overcast to block direct sunlight.

Have you guys ever been to the eye doctor? when they dilate your pupils you have to wear those tacky plastic glasses. That's why i bought some super black shades so that i dont damage my eyes when i trip.

One of the things that appeal to me when I start to trip is the intensified colors.
I don't want to dilute that effect by wearing any kind of shades.

Direct sunlight is just annoying anyway on any level.

most likely cause wearing non UV protected sunglasses dilate pupils which is said to cause damage by optometrist
