Well, I've had a large number of floaters ever since I can remember, and just recently I started to see flashes of light so I got checked out today. It turns out everything is fine, but a few things are on my mind tonight:
1) Please, future eye docs, warn us when you're going to give us the dilation drops. My God! It felt like the muscles in my eyes were straining or buckling or something. Also, with finals coming up, it would've been nice to have known ahead of time what they were going to do -- hence why I am up so late as I had to wait a few hours for the meds to wear off before I could continue studying again. Please tell patients what you're dropping in their eyes! Just a thought.
2) Has anyone heard anything regarding aspartame and retinal detachment? There's some stuff on the net, but I'd appreciate any opinions concerning whether or not there's any truth that diet soda can turn ye blind.
Thanks!
