About 8 years ago there was a glaucoma scare in my family so all of us had to go get tested. At the time I hadn't seen an optician or ophthalmologist in decades so I just went to a convenient downtown location. The guy that tested me did the usual puff of air pressure test but he also used some kind of oversized popsicle stick to press against my eyes (after some drops were put in). After that my eyes teared copiously and though it lessened considerably, didn't really stop for months. I was told at the time my eyes tested much better than 20/20, but ever since then my distance vision has been shit and I require glasses to drive. He had retired by the time I came back to ask some serious questions...
Yeah, the dye stuff does that. They normally recommend someone come pick you up after...
