Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The procedure of putting a chemical into the eyes to dilate the pupils often results in increased sensitivity to light. Maleek's pupils will be enlarged, allowing more light to enter, and this can cause discomfort or temporary blindness in bright light. Dark rooms may also appear even darker due to the enlarged pupils. There may be a temporary change in visual acuity, but it typically resolves within a few hours.
