Message: <blockquote data-quote="AndBreathe" data-source="post: 1241699" data-attributes="member: 88961">what a shame you have had such an experience.  I have a couple of thoughts.Firstly, as I was reading, I was wondering if forgetting your sunnies had resulted in some form of trauma to your eyes - a bit like spending too long, looking into a bright light.  I have no idea if that thought is even valid.  Secondly, when I have had my screening (just the three times, so far), have been given drops, with no side effects, thankfully.  Each time, I have been given an A5 sheet of information on one side and advice on the other.  On the information side, aside from describing the potential for blurred vision has a space for the technician to write the type of drops they have used.  Allegedly there are two potential drops they can use.  That information is provided  so that if there is any form of ill-effect I would be able let the techician doing the screening next time not to use the same drops, but to use the alternative.And finally, the leaflet states if I have any concerns I should contact eye casualty (details how are on there) and take the sheet with me, so that they would know how to treat me.  As I have never had any issues, I haven't kept the sheet for any longer than a day or so, but I've always thought it a great idea.  Do you usually receive anything similar?I do hope the mystery and the pain can be resolved soon.</blockquote>
