Dilated pupils

Mine, that is. I just came back from an eye exam, and they always put
drops in to dilate your pupils, to check for glaucoma. As a result,
bright lights hurt my eyes and a dark room feels normal and comfortable.
In fact, I could see really well in the dark corridor inside my work
building, after coming in from the sunny outdoors. Maybe this is what
it's like to be a cat.

I could use a long nap, yes. Not planning to snub dinner, though!

I had the same thing on Tuesday. Luckily, it wasn't very sunny when I
walked the few steps home from the doc's. Couldn't really read, so I
took a nap with the cats.

You must have a very old-fashioned and low-tech eye specialist.
I haven't had one do that for more than 20 years. There have
been two generations of glaucoma-testing technology since then.

Whatever. It works, right?

I question the validity of your statement. There are other things the
dilation can detect besides glaucoma. Further research needed. MLB

Mine are always dilated to check my retinas for any sign of retinopathy
(which I've had before).

Better test equipment seems to make the homatropine unnecessary for
any routine purpose.
