pneWent to the optician's this afternoon; in order to look at my retina, he gave my eyedrops to enlarge the pupil.
He said the effect would wear off after an hour or so, and while I can now focus on things again, my pupils are still huge and I'm a bit sensitive to light. (After coming home, I spent the first hour and a half or so with my eyes closed.)

a) such things can easily be done with low lighting
b) humans generally look sexier with their pupils dilated, since pupil dilation is something that happens with arousal, but faking it works too. This is also why pictures of models and such often have their pupils artificially enlarged during processing.
I used to have a bottle of pupil dilation drops. After my first surgery I needed to take them regularly as part of the healing process (not quite sure why, I just was told to do it and did it). I kind of regret getting rid of the stuff when I no longer needed it. It'd be kind of fun to be able to dilate people's pupils at will, and it's one of the few drugs I've been given I would feel fairly safe just playing with, since as far as I know, the stuff is remarkably safe. Maybe bad under certain conditions for people with various specific eye problems (i dunno if it is, but I could imagine it might be), but I wouldn't use it on anyone with any eye problems. For normal, healthy people, I've never heard of a problem with random pupil dilation.

An interesting thought.
Difficult on this occasion since we had visitors that evening, though even at other times we'd want to make sure that Amy was either securely occupied for a while or asleep.
But if we hadn't had visitors, perhaps we could've worked something out...
