Please note that if you use contact lenses you will be asked not to wear them for a certain period of time before the detailed preliminary examination (1-2 weeks), in order not to falsify any measurements. During the examination, you will be given special eye drops that widen your pupils. You should therefore not drive your car for a few hours after the examination.
