Also? It’s been eight hours since they hit me with the uber-dilation drops. Could I please have control of my pupils again?
At least I can read now. For a good five hours there, I couldn’t focus my eyes enough to process print worth a damn.
I’m sorry all around. What a frustrating day.
It is a frustration that will pass. I’d rather wait for a procedure with an extremely good prognosis than go for one I always knew was going to be a bit of a gamble anyway.
Makes sense to me; it’s part of why I’m still wearing contacts myself.
Gah! I hate it when they do that!
“Oh, this will only last 20 minutes, tops!”
I hope it clears up, soon!
No, they at least had the decency to tell me these were super mega dilation drops. Nobody promised me 20 minutes.
I neglected, however, to ask how long it would take.
Nine hours and counting . . . .
Blargh. ):
Warning — when I went for LASIK testing (not for me, either), it was *3* days before my vision returned to normal. Wear sunglasses and be careful driving anywhere.
They did not warn me about this. Oh no, they said “You’ll be fine in a couple of hours”. Bastidges. Glad I didn’t do the surgery, or I’d be walking into walls still.
Yeah, um — I’m less dilated this morning, but my pupils are still non-responsive to changes in light.
Jesus Christ.
You should pin a note on your shirt about your recent dilation, in case you get a head injury and are unable to tell the EMTs that it’s not just the concussion but your pupils also aren’t reactive. (;
And a part of me really wants to bring my penlight over to play.
<lol> I was just afraid a cop would stop me on the way home and think I was stoned.
