Answers:
It sound's like the first answer was right; it's atropine

Ever heard stories about women, a few hundred years ago, putting deadly nightshade in their eyes to make their pupils dilate!? That's the stuff!. It's extracted from the plant and is relatively harmless just as long as you don't drink it by the gallon

The only use I can remember off the top of my head if for glaucoma patients, slows the muscles or something along those lines!. The effects, if taken in large ammounts, can last about 48 hours

Sadly it's a perscription drug

Edit after a quick flick through the pdr: It's generally used for anything related to loss of sight, it can slow down the decline of sight to an extent!. Sorry to say it but unless you can convince your doctor that you're going blind it's going to be awful hard to get hold of someWww@Answer-Health@Com

They were probably Atropine eye drops!. You need to wear dark glasses if you go outside on a sunny day while dilated, or you could damage your retina!. You cannot buy them without a prescription!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
