[QUOTE="sparkyrich, post: 426483, member: 32555"] The retinopathy test eye drops don't bother me too much. About ten years ago though, I had an episode of macular degeneration which resulted in scar tissue at the back of my eye and distorted vision. Not the best thing for a tradesman who relies on sighting things for straight and level lol. Anyhoo, the specialist wanted me to have photos taken of the backs of my eyes using a fluorescent dye. They put three lots of drops in and it was strange to lose my vision a foot at a time. By the time they came for me I couldn't see more than six inches, everything else was a blur. They injected the dye while they were taking the photos - a sicky making experience that wasn't pleasant at all. Afterwards it about four hours for my sight to return to near normal. Then I found out the dye made you look like the tango man. I was bright orange all over. Even better ( and more impressive according to my young son) was that you get rid of the dye through your kidneys and it makes your piddle fluorescent green!!!
