Hmm...so they dilated your eyes? How long the dilation lasts is based on what they use and your individual eyes. Typically a combination of Tropicamide 1% and Phenylephrine 2.5 % will last 4-6 hours on most people. Homatropine lasts three days and Atropine lasts a week.
Rule of thumb: Light colored eyes (such as blue or grey) tend to dilate faster and stay dilated longer than dark colored eyes.
Wear sunglasses and contact your ophthalmologist's office. Let them know its lasted two days, and see what they want to do, because typically they don't use the dilating drops that last that long.
