Hi doctors, yesterday i went to an eye doctor and he dilated my eyes at 8pm it's now the next day 4pm and my eyes are still dilated! why? i'm worried

No worry necessary: Many people -especially those with light colored eyes- slowly metabolize the dilating medications. The effect of diagnostic dilating eye-drops can last over 24 hours and make you quite sensitive to sunlight. Dilating Drops that are used to treat certain eye conditions can last up to 2 weeks.
