Yesterday I was at the Ophtamologists who (mis)treated my eyes with some drops that paralyse them completely. That is, they disable your iris to close such that he could scan the interior of my eyes with a broad light. So far so good, but after this even cloudy Wuppertal weather is too bright and you are not able to focus your eyes. Even wearing glasses, you can't read. Think about it, how much of the things you normally do, involve some kind of reading or looking at something accurately. It's frightening. I went home, had a nap, did some cooking and watched a German movie. (I wouldn't have been able to read any subtitles, but watching the images is ok).
From what I heard at the doctors, the effect of these drops should cease after 5 hours or so. For me, it only did slowly slowly today. I still have the impression that my pupils are oversized and the sun (yeah it happens in Wuppertal) is too bright.
