A member asked:
Would having pupils dilated too often with dilating drops harm your eyes, e.g., destroy the pupils' own ability to contract/relax?

No: I am unaware of any cases where using drops that dilate eyes cause permanent dilation. Physiologically you would have to effect the ganglion that causes this and the drops do not do that.

Dilated pupils: all medicine has potential unwanted side effects and should be used according to its prescription.
