    Uhm, my dilated eyes went back to normal after a few hours.
    I think you should go talk to your optometrist.

    Slightly concerned.... maybe they have gone back to normal size, but you just didn't notice. Usually it takes between 7 and 9 hours. If this continues, see a Health Professional.

    According to this site and others I looked at, the dilation can last up to 24 hours.

    Your pupils will return to normal. It's not unheard of for some patients to take a very long time for their pupils to come back down. I've never heard of someone whose pupils remained dilated permanently.

    My guess is the doctor used cyclopentolate, which can make the pupils stay dilated longer.
