Ophthalmology & Optometry - dialation


Expert: Dr Anand Shroff, MD, FICS - 11/6/2009

Question
I had a cataract (len Implant) three weeks ago, still my pupil is dialated, sometime difficult to see bright light. Is it normal like that, how long will it take to become normal? the doctor could not give a good reason for the dialation. he asked me to use Cyclogyl 2% for aweek and see.

Answer
Dear James,

The drops or gel of Cyclopentonate is a dilatingeye drop/ gel so the symptoms you face are a result of that.
the reson some doctors prescribe this post surgery is to 'quieten' the eye to avoid any inflammation and help recovery.

Hope this helps,
Best,

Dr Shroff
