Gonioscopy

Risks

If your pupils were dilated, your vision may be blurred for several hours after the test. You should not rub your eyes for 20 minutes after the test, or until the medicine wears off.

There is also a very small risk of an eye infection or an allergic reaction to the eyedrops used to numb your eyes.
