I went to a Neuro-Opth and they did it backward. They dilated my eyes, had me wait until full dilation, then did that eye test.

It was cruel. When you eyes are dilated, bright lights hurt. You may where sun glasses going home,right?

Any way they did the visual test and the bright lights in the box hurt my eyes so bad. The pain was awful. Tears were streaming down my cheeks from the too bright light and the pain of it. The water just poured out of the corners of my eyes like I was crying.

I had this test before.They should not have dilated me first. She just gave me tissues, but my eyes felt blinded and caused a headache.

Dej, I, too, thought I had missed some of the lights since is was so random and I was not too fast on the clicker. Apparently I did okay, but he found a Vitreous detachment in one eye that caused my cobweb black floaters.

They went away in two weeks so he said to just watch it annually since it just tore a little bit away from the back of the eye, not a full detachment.

This is not a retina detachment, this is a vitreous detachment, a little different, but not good either. If it gets worse they put a frozen thin tiny steel rod into the center of your eye and freeze-scar the back of the eye ball to the wall again. So the fluid doesn't leak out. It doesn't sound pretty.
