A lady came in yesterday for a LASIK evaluation. Getting dilated is part of this evaluation. Getting dilated is also part of a normal yearly exam, however patients sometimes refuse it. Anyway, she had been seen one month prior by our optometrist and was then referred to us for the LASIK eval. She is 48 and she can’t have LASIK….because she has the beginnings of cataracts, which would have been seen a month ago had she not refused dilation. It turns out, after some investigating, she hadn’t been dilated since 2020. Ridiculous.

Y’all get dilated. So what if it’s an inconvenience to your day, it’s the best way to see the health of the back of the eye. If you go somewhere that doesn’t dilate, find somewhere that does. People complain about so much…I hate drops in my eye, the dilation lasts too long, etc. STFU. NO ONE likes drops put in their eye, so be an adult and deal with it. #ophthalmology #optometry #eyehealth #eyes

Apparently it’s atypical for moving your eyes to hurt. Or moving your head suddenly. Or find text of any size and colour combination blurry regardless of correct prescription!

I will be asking Ortho K guy about this. And / or specsavers.

"It is difficult to say what kind of #health impacts this level of eye exposure to the #chemicals may have because no studies on how the eyes absorb #PFAS from lenses have been done. However, PFAS are absorbed through the dermis and are highly mobile compounds, so it’s possible that eyes do absorb some level of the chemicals, though fluoropolymers are generally a less mobile kind of PFAS..."

Every day some new horror awaits us....
