floaters darkened a bit after pupil dilation, plausible?
Hi,
I noticed a very small subtle (~2%) darkening of point size
floaters after pupil dilation was initiated by the
ophthalmologist to see inside my retina.
Is it possible that pupil dilation which I read can cause
very small interocular pressure can press or compress some
portion of floaters making them darker?
Is this plausible or not possible at all? I can't get
in touch with the opthalmology because he was out of the
country.
