I got dilated today...
Eye exam. Originally scheduled for last year, pushed back as the doctor decided to take a holiday vacation. No cataracts, no signs of glaucoma. The blurred vision is because my left eye is weaker than the right and my standard glasses need to be changed.I left the office with disposable sunglasses as blurred vision was at maximum. Good thing the vision center was only a mile from my home. I took the day off from work and it was a good thing as I had a splitting headache and couldn't focus for a few hours.
It was dark 7 hours later when I went grocery shopping and bright lights from car headlights had a slight blue 'edge' when I blinked. I'm thinking that was a reaction from the eye drops.
Hopefully, I'll be back in business tomorrow.

Would you like me to describe my 10cm dilation when giving birth?

I witnessed the birth of my granddaughter and when my daughter's friend asked my thoughts on the experience, I replied "I couldn't eat for three days!"

It actually sounds like your visit almost went good except for the dilation. I have for years had them do an optomap of my eyes, dialation and I are not friends. Insurance will not usually cover an optomap but I found them fairly reasonable. I pay 35 dollars I think. It is worth it to me. For quite a few years till they started making the optomap available I did without any dilation or anything
Glad all went well and it was not what i thought
His determination - "you have absolutely no signs of glaucoma nor macular degeneration and your vision is good. You have 20/25."
I said "no. My vision used to be good, until I got hit with a baseball in the eye. I used to have 20/10 vision."
He then used some sort of very salty eye drops and gave me a prescription for glasses.
Off I went to Walmart to get glasses ordered (on insurance). I don't really need them, unless I am driving at night and need to read signs in the distance. So, I got them to keep in the car.
Regardless, next time I'll make an appointment sometime other than the holiday season.
