floaters,light sensivity and headaches

i had gone for indirect opthalmoscope examination for my floaters.however floaters kept increasing and retina surgeon did the test again.so in 8 days i was dilated twice and tonometry was performed twice.after all this headaches have started above eyebrows and i have become very sensitive to light.i had read if opthalmoscope exam done in excess one can have problems due to intense bright light used.is my light sensitivity due to opthalmoscope examination and headaches due to excessive dilation and tonometry in short period.kindly suggest some drugs to reverse the problem as i dont wish to go to any further doctor.

tonometry and dilated fundus examinations are highly unlikely to cause the symptoms you describe.

the possible "damage" a person could sustain from an impoperly performed fundus exam would be maculopathy.  maculopathy does not cause light sensitivity or headaches.
