Eye exam - I'm a bit panicked

5 replies

I'm sure I'm worried about nothing...

I had my pupils dilated this morning for an eye exam around 9 am.

The right one has gone back to normal, but the left one is still dilated. Is this something to panic about, or is the left one just taking a bit longer?

No, it’s just taking longer. My DH has had this happen. Relax !

Probably just taking slightly longer. Maybe they put one more drop in than the other eye etc. If you have any redness, pain please contact them before closing. Hope you are ok.

No pain, no redness

Just still blurry in left eye and pupil just sat there wide open and not shrinking in light like the other
