You’d be surprised at what can show up through a simple eye exam. Optometrists check for several harmful eye conditions when examining a dilated pupil. Here is an article by Nvision Centers you can read to learn more about various eye drops used for dilation. Here are the most common eye drops used for dilation exams: The type of eye drops used will also impact how long your dilation lasts.
So, the exact time it takes for your dilation to wear off can be lesser or greater. Alternatively, it only takes about 30 minutes for your eyes to dilate fully. On average, it takes four to six hours for eye dilation to wear off. How long does it take for eye dilation to wear off? To learn more about the process of eye dilation and how long it takes to wear off, continue reading. So, you need to wait until it wears off before engaging in any serious activities. While dilating the eyes makes your pupils bigger for your eye doctor to see.ĭilation also impairs your ability to see clearly. It allows eye doctors to help you in identifying and preventing any possible eye conditions. This is beneficial for optometrists because it enables them to conduct a complete inspection of your eye health. Dilating the eyes causes the pupil to increase in size. It wore off over few hours.When getting an eye exam, dilation of the patient’s eyes must occur. My WAG was that either the dilation itself made it difficult to change focus or that the drops had a side effect on the eye muscles that made it difficult. However the transition between the two was… unpleasant and rather like what you describe. I could also focus up close if I had the glasses off, got right up close and concentrated.
After the drops I found that I could just about focus in the distance if I had my gasses on and concentrated. I wear glasses for short-sightedness and usually wear them all the time, even for reading. I had it done in the hospital where I work and as there were a couple of things I wanted to finish off, I went back to work after. I had it done a couple of months ago and I felt something similar. For instance, after typing at this computer and looking at the screen for several minutes, if I were to move my eyes off to the side, I’d feel the little burst. It was sort of little bursts of dizziness when I moved my eyes or my head in one direction or another after having been looking in only one direction for a while. For you there must’ve been a specific therapeutic reason for using Atropine.īut then afterwards, persisting to this moment, in fact, I had this odd sensation. But I should’ve said “no longer used for routine eye exams.” That’s not your case. “Recent” in my case is the past 20 years. Probably wouldn’t have changed my outcome any, so just curious. So I’m wondering when they quit using Atropine. I’m sure that’ll work.:rolleyes: My eyes are somewhat more light sensitive, but I can deal. I’m told if I get stopped by the cops, I’m supposed to tell them to call my ophthalmologist so they don’t think I’m baked. (My memory is a little misty, but it was often enough to keep my pupils constantly dilated.) By the time they’d done another transplant, a few months later, my pupils were “blown,” that is, in a state of permanent partial dilation. Without going into lots of details, docs had me putting in Atropine drops 2 or 3 times a day. Rowrrbazzle, how recently are we talkin’ 'bout here? In 1994, I fought a losing battle against rejection of a corneal transplant. Decades later, the more recent times I’ve had my pupils dilated I had to wear sunglasses afterwards, but I could focus fine. I thought Atropine was no longer used because it paralyzes the muscles used to focus, which is what I experienced when I was very young.
