Eye dilation: The ophthalmologist dilates the eye so that the entire back of the eye can be seen by examination. This is usually viewed with device strapped to the head of the eye doctor called an indirect ophthalmoscope, - using a bright light and mirror. This is part of a complete eye examination and dilation is also done to allow surgical and other treatments.

I had an eye exam today with dilation. One pupil became larger than the other with blurriness & headache. It's been over 13 hours since then & my vision is still blurry and my pupil still larger and headache. How long should I wait to get it checked?
