additional PVD question

additional PVD question

One more quick question - can an opthamology exam increase floaters.  I have had 3 exams in the last 3 weeks and feel as though I see more floaters since then.

24 hrs after a recent eye exam I developed floaters and light sensitivity.
My eyes were dilated and a bright flash of light was used in the exam
(not sure what that's called. I have no doubt the exam caused this reaction.
I am 64 and have never had more than an occasional floater. This was my
first eye exam in 20 yrs. My doc said same thing (impossible!).
Why do md's seldom admit to individual sensitivities?
