How long should my eyes stay dilated after a visit with an eye doctor?

Question

My eye doctor used maybe three different eye drops to dilate my eyes. My appointment was nearly 8 hours ago, and my eyes are still dilated.

Answer 1

You don't know what the names were of these eye-drops?

Because, you have eye-drops that last 3 hours, 12 hours, or 2 days. Maybe you can call his secretary and ask?

Also, every person that gets eye-drops respond differently. The eyedrops that should last 3 hours always last the whole day with me.

Answer 2

It varies depending on which drug was used, and how much was used.  People with darker eyes tend to need more to achieve the desired result, but it also lasts longer.  The drug is bound by the pigment (hence needing more), but is then slowly released (giving the longer duration).

Answer 3

1 hour minimum and 2 to 3 hrs maxi

Answer 4

about 2 to 3 hours MAX!!

Answer 5

I go to have my retinas examined or checked every twelve months.

Basically the eye drops used are mostly water. It usually takes about ten to twenty minutes to be back to normal. However people have told me that they need to wait up to the next day to be back to normal. The doctors tell them that they are fine and there is nothing wrong. If it takes more then 24 hrs take a taxi or get some one to take you to a hospital. Getting ice or cool packsput on your eyes will relive the pain, and using dark glasses, avoid going out side. Rest and sleep is the best methoeds.

Answer 6

When they use two different drops it's back to normal with me in 4-6 hours ; but when I get 3 drops I felt it double that recently .
