A member asked:

Please let me know if there is any quick ways to make dilated pupils go back to normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Eliminate: the cause of the dilation. If Opiods when the drugs are no longer in your system your pupils will return to baseline. If due to topical eye dilators like atropine or Tropicainamide the dilation will resolve in a day
