Dilated Pupils

[Washington Hunter]

Went to the eye doc this morning and just got to work. I can't work! Can't see anything up close. Now I know how it is to have old eyes. So I guess instead of working I'll have to read this useless stuff on Hunt Talk.

Very Funny!!! Reading that is not a problem, it's the small print on all the documents I have to read for work that I just can't focus on. Now I know what it's like to be old! When I paid for the new lenses I ordered at the dr office, I had to sign my name....couldn't even see where I was supposed to sign, but the lady pointed to it and I scribbled my signature as best I could. I really should have taken the day off work and made a 4 day weekend out of it!

WH, the dilated pupils thing is or should be a thing of the past. My wife works for an eye doctor and they have a machine that scans the eye, without dilation, which picks up anomalies 20X better than the procedure you had done and also scans a greater portion of the eye in less time. A lot of modern illnesses can be detected through the eyes, ie. diabetes, brain tumors, etc. which the eye doctors have seen first hand since using this machine.

I had my eyes dilated once when I was in Phoenix and they gave me those cool old fogey tinted lense dohickeys to put under my glasses...I know most of you know what I'm talking about. As everyone knows the sun shines in Phoenix and I DIDN'T wear that lense and I was hurting like chit. Talk abut your eyes taking in all available light when dilated. Holy Crap!

Newer technology rocks, big time!!

wilecoyote, now that is interesting...so in the armpit of Idaho you have the new technology, and here in Olympia, Washington, the capital of the state, we have the OLD technology??? That really stinks. Yeah they gave me the sunglass thingy that slips under my glasses, and I did use them, because it was sunny driving to work. You know, next time I'm in there I will ask them why they don't have the new technologically advanced machines that you have there in Idaho.

WH, It took me a while to remember the name of the retinal scan machine but finally got it. Check out their website at www.optos.com/ .You can also check the provider list for Washington cities (not that you are willing to change providers) but also look at some of the Optomap images of different diseases. Pretty interesting stuff. This is the latest and greatest technology which makes dilated pupils a thing of the past (in most cases ).

At least it was your eyes that was dilated, when I went to the doctor yesterday, he insisted on doing a PROSTATE EXAM. My wife layed across my back to help hold me down. So don't complain about your eyes being dilated, my dilation was lower.
