Can dilating drops make dry eye worse?

[How]

I haven't had them lately but may need to get them done. If you are in a pretty serious state with dry eye is it likely to make things worse?

It probably can, but you never know until you try. Either way, it shouldn't last long

I have had dilating drops and was no worse for wear.
