Blurring occurs because ur pupil will not adjust light under action of that drug.... Once the drug action is gone.... Ur pupil comes back to normal.... And normal vision as before.  It has no other effect on eye atall.

It doesn't cause vision loss , dilating drops causes blurring of vision starting 10 to 15 minutes after installation of drops to 3 or 4 hours later on
