For how long should your pupil stay dilated after going to the eye doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: The typical dilation drops used in the office for examination last for several hours after (longer in lighter-eyed individuals). Other therapeutic dilation drops that are prescribed can last days or weeks.
