Retina eye test questions

Post covid until this year my Retinopathy pics have been done without drops. The first one after covid the 'photographer' suggested to try without drops and they were happy with the pics so at other appointments I've suggested drop free and the images have been suitable. It was only at my last one that I was told I needed drops.
My employer insisted I came back to work after my appointment even though I included a copy of all parts of the letter saying not to drive/bring sunglasses. I did explain that even after 4 hours there is no certainty that my eyesight would be considered safe for a warehouse environment.

Not looking forward to it simply cos things to do with eyes give me the eebiejeebies but go i will cos i know i have to.....grin and bare it
I know whats going to happen cos ive read up about it but theres something i cant find anywhere so i thought id ask my learned associates on here

Simple question........how long does it take?
