Can You Use Eye Drops After Dilation?
Dilation eye drops may blur your vision and can make you sensitive to bright light. You may find it helpful to wear sunglasses. You may also experience temporary stinging and a dry mouth after using the eye drops. The effects of the drops normally last between two and four hours, but can be up to six hours.

Also to know is, how long does it take for dilated eyes to return to normal?

Once your doctor puts in the dilating drops, it takes about 20–30 minutes for your pupils to fully open, or dilate. After your eyes are fully dilated, the effects will last for four to six hours for most people. Some people feel the effects of dilating drops for longer, including people with lighter color eyes.

Subsequently, question is, are there drops to reverse eye dilation? Currently there is nothing available for reversal of dilation. People who get dilated will still need to wear their sunglasses and to put off reading for a couple of hours until the effects of the dilation drops wear off.

Do:

  1. Have someone drive you home.
  2. Wear sunglasses.
  3. Call your doctor if your eyes stay dilated longer than 24 hours.

Can you use a computer after eye dilation?

Dilating drops make it hard for your eyes to focus on things close to you. You probably won't be able to read, use the computer, or do other tasks that require near vision after your appointment, unless you wear bifocals or use reading glasses.
