 I've been seeing my ophthalmologist twice a year for the last few years. I get
my eyes dilated at each visit. I know that she's taken pictures of my eyes in
the past but I don't remember any dye being used, so I guess that's something
different. Once a year she has me do that test where you see tiny flashing
lights and press a button each time you see one. I don't even remember what that
tests for, but I always do really well. I'll be seeing the retina specialist
next Thursday so maybe I'll get the dye done then.
