Are dilating eye drops safe to have during pregnancy?

Kate

I am just under 15 weeks pregnant and have an eye condition called idiopathic uveitis which means I need to be seen by a ophthalmologist every 4 months. This will be the first time I'm visiting since becoming pregnant but I'm concerned that the drops they use to dilate my eyes can harm the baby. Does anyone have any knowledge on this or know if the drops effect the baby? X
