Went to the optometrist this morning. Gave me eyedrops that make my pupils grow, so he can shine really bright lights in my eyes that make everything look green, and apparently "see to the back of my eye".
This is my eye before and after. As my brother puts it when my pupils are dilated: "they can see right through to your soul" then he throws somethign at me because I'm creeping him out

i had that done to me before too. it's quite creepy. the worst part was i didn't know i was gonna have it done, so i drove there by myself and had to drive myself home. sunlight, dilated pupils, and driving are a BAD mix. i ended up skipping class cause i still couldn't see a few hours later.
but i found out i have scarring on my left eye and am losing my peripheral vision.
I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

Wow! Those drugs are so powerful they make your piercing change colors!
If it makes you feel any better, you have terribly beautiful eyes.

Bobo - you do have really beautiful eyes. An iridologist would have a field day with those!!
Do you find yourself quite psychic and/or sensitive to the vibrations of your environment?

Are you made out of wood??? Cos, if you do, it means you can float on water, therefore your weight is that of a duck, and you must be a witch... BURN 'ER
But really, look into my eyes... has anybody ever told you I have beautiful eyes???

I had that done, they also put some crazy stuff on it to numb it so they could repeatedly poke it with a little pin (not sharp) to test my eye pressure or something I was told not to rub my eye since I couldn't feel it and people have been known to squish them by pressing hideously hard when rubbing. Then like 4 eye doctor students took turns examining my optic nerver (it was slightly swollen and discoloured due to a big mistake I made..) anyways that was fun. I was also qurantined there because I had shared a hospital ward earlier when there was a major staff infection outbreak, and wards for eye-medicine are super nervous about this because the eye is not only the window to the soul but the window to infection.

I hate the dilating drops. When we learned how to do the ophthalmologic exam, we each had one eye dilated, which is worse than getting them both dilated.
And because I have such dark brown eyes (such that it's hard to see my pupils), I didn't even get the fun of having my friends freak out the rather striking difference between the two eyes.

Everybody should post a picture of their eye(s)
Then in the future when we use eye scanners for identification, I'll be able to steal all your identities and run off with your money..... muhahaha

ya i had the one eye dilated thing too. you're right, i'd imagine it's just be easier to have both done. though being able to close one eye on the drive home did help

Better then a poke in the eye with a sharp stick I suppose.
There is a slight possibility that I am not actually right all of the time.

I heard about a Japanese war torture where they poke a stick (or pin rather) down into your eye and into the optic nerve! Aparently they were very successful at getting what the wanted!

Man, those Japanese sure know how to get their way... Made me cringe reading that, I can't imagnine anything poking into my eye *shudders* Or someone licking my eye for that matter O.o'
Kinky, yo

They probably only got erroneous information, which is what torture most often produces. Maybe that's why they lost the war.

I have a friend who is terrified of eyes. Especially blue ones. I always feel incredibly honoured when she looks me in the eyes (v blu) for a whole conversation. She even had problems looking into her sons eyes for long periods when he was first born (she can now, i don't think there will be any lasting trauma!) Its not really noticable, i used to think she was just shy.
