A member asked:
Could a retina detachment test make me blind ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The dilated eye exam is necessary to detect retinal detachments. It is uncomfortable due to bright lights needed for the doctor to exam the retina properly. The bright lights will temporally cause you to see funny colors.
