Question:
What is the max time for eye dilation before you should worry about going to the Emergency Room?
My son had his eyes dilateded and everything I found related to this says 4-6 hours. I has been a little longer than that.
Answers:
Though the bottle literature insert will say 4-6 hours. It really varies from person to person and the amount of dilating drops that were put in.
A little longer than 6 hours is not too worrisome. As was already mentioned, it can be as long as 10 to 18 hours depending on the amount and type of dilating drops that were used.
Pharmacologic dilation is completely reversible. Not unless Atropine eye drops were used, the effects of the dilating drops should disappear by the following day.
