14-yr-old son. had eye exam today, drops were given. one eye dilated much more than the other, and is taking longer to contract. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common: This depends upon the amount of the drop that was absorbed, and the internal biochemical neutralizing that the eye accomplishes. Wait 12-24 hours to see the final result which almost certainly will be fine.
