VISIONING: Who was that shady character?

I got my eyes checked the other day, and as part of the exam my optometrist (Renny Sardella in Willowdale) instilled mydriatic eyedrops. They cause your pupils to expand temporarily, allowing the optometrist to examine your eye's inner structure more easily. Your eyes are very sensitive to light until the effect wears off. Three hours after my appointment I was still squinting and needed to wear my sunglasses, even inside at the Y. I felt the need to explain to everyone in my gym class that I was NOT, in fact, attempting to be cool (a lost cause anyway, the Young Relative would point out, and quite correctly).
