A member asked:
After your pupils are dilated when getting an eye exam, how long until they are back to normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pupil dilating drops: Usually will last for 3-4 hours after your exam. Occasionally, some patients' pupils are extremely responsive to dilation and the drops could last up to 10-12 hrs.
