The drops the eye hospital used to inspect your retina, open your pupils so wide you look like an alien or a cat about to pounce on a mouse
The biggest mistake I made was not to bring sunglasses with me after the test
It was a sunny day and the glare was unbelievably painful , my eyes watered nonstop , so I shut my eyes and my wife held my hand until we got back to the car.Your pupils don’t resume normal function for 1 to 2 hours.
The condition has settled but I still have floaters in both eyes and the occasional flash only in the right eye peripheral vision
I get tested once a year now plus a general eye test
If your tested and diagnosed with PVD make sure you take your sunglasses with you just in case
