A member asked:

I had my eyes dilated around 11a it is now 4:30p i can see fine with my glasses but my vision is blurred with my contacts is this from the dilation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

YES: I suggest waiting at least 8 hours, without contacts until the medication ( dilator medication) wear off- figure 8-12 hours and...wear sunglasses.
