Eye question.?

Question

Ok well just like an hour ago i got my eyes dilated i can barely see anything up close i want to know how long will this last. Iam going nuts here.

Answer 1

it depends on the eyedrop they used to dilate you.  the previous poster said "24 hrs" but that would only be if they used CYCLOPENTOALTE on you, which is rare.  MOST dilations in the U.S. are done with .5% or 1% tropicamide, which lasts about 3 hrs.

so...probably about 3 hrs.

Answer 2

It usually lasts for about 24 hours dependant on what solution etc. - I had mine dilated last year and yes it is uncomfortable but it is necessary to rest them
