While generally safe, pupil dilation can have some temporary side effects: 1. Blurred Vision: The child may experience blurred vision for a few hours. 2. Light Sensitivity: Dilated pupils are more sensitive to light, making bright environments uncomfortable. 3. Stinging Sensation: The drops can cause a brief stinging or burning sensation upon application.
Parents should be informed that these side effects are usually temporary and subside within a few hours.
