My optometrist (DO not MD) dialates me, but he's in practice with an MD. I see him for routine maintenance and semirigid contacts. The big magnified yellow light that he shines around makes me see the ghost image of the blood vessels in my retina. It's pretty trippy.
He might just be old school, he is my age (50!) after all - they also do the contact pressure reading rather than the air puff. Once you're numb, I think it used to actually be cocaine, the big blue donut actually pushes on your cornea. Also pretty trippy!
I'm blessed with good eyes, except for their unfortunate shape. I'll be happy with that...
