@yorkshireman I have a question, Whenever doctor puts dilating drops in your eyes to check the retina, do you feel a sense of relief, as if the world has become brighter?

@riy Brightness increases somewhat in indoor and computer monitor environments as expected due to the dilation, but even then it doesn't do anything to restore loss of fine detail in situations such as those same pictures mentioned above on computer monitors.

BTW, following on from my comments above, regardless of whether I am dilated or not, it's also interesting that higher contrast pictures on computer monitors appear to be more normal than lower contrast pictures, even if duller than previously.

Whatever is causing this damage, it's clearly something that, among other things, is attacking my contrast sensitivity ability and is much more pronounced in lower resolution environments. On a personal note, I really hate not knowing what this damn thing even is... 🙁 At this point, it's clearly something really rare.
