Still Dilated after taking atropine

2017-05-04 16:27:07
I have recently had a hyphema in my left eye and have finally been directed to stop taking the atropine eye drops. My last drop was on April 19th in the late evening. MY eye is still dilated today (May, 4th). The dilation has decreased, however now fully. If I had to guess it could be around 50-60% decreased in dilation. You can still tell that my left eye is dilated and my right eye is not.
