1 Answers
Dilating eye drops used for examination of the eyes usually last from 4 to 24 hours, depending upon the strength of the drop and upon the individual patient. Pupil dilation tends to last longer in people with lighter colored eyes (irides), and occasionally a child's eyes may stay dilated for longer than 24 hours.

An eye examination is carried out by an optometrist and usually takes about 20-30 minutes. Sometimes it can take longer if you need extra tests, but this is to make sure you can see as well as possible.
