A member asked:
Had eyes dilated for exam. why do my pupils still stay so big for such a long time afterwards- even after my vision returns to normal?

Half Life: The medications used to dilate the pupils may linger in your system and the pupils can stay dilated longer even though your vision is relatively improved as your body gets accustomed to the amount of light entering with dilated pupils.
