How long does it take to go back to normal after eyes get dialated?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: The amount of time is related to the coor of your eyes (if light, will take longer) and the type of drop used.

Depends: On what drops were used to dilate the eyes. The most common ones used for an eye exam last 2-4 hours typically. In rare cases, the dilation will last for a day or two.
