My eye started hurting a little and I was afraid I might be getting UVeitis again. I am out of Durezol (the super expensive eye drop that is a steroid, it cost $70 after insurance) and went to grab my pred-forte (super cheap steriod eye drop). I put a drop in my eye and looked at it AFTER the fact. I put atropine in instead of pred-forte. The bottles look exactly the same except the lid of the atropine is red and the lid of the pred-forte is dark pink.
I am super sensitive to dilating drops and my eye stays dilated longer than the average person. I have three different dilating drops, atropine is the strongest lasting 1-2 weeks. I use dilating drops when my UVeitis is really bad, it helps with the pain and keeps the pupil from sticking and being permanently damaged. We were invited to a housewarming party tomorrow night at the neighbors across the street, now I'm going to look like David Bowie with one normal eye and the other eye completely dilated.

It will be fine. I promise. You are stunning even with a dilated eye.

dang it!
Yes, it will be fine and this will make a funny story....(someday??)

It sounds better if you say it in German, for some reason:
Ich bin ein idiot!
I think the emotion comes out better and then I am always able to move on. YMMV.
