Pupil Dilation From Trauma Posted: 06-02-05 14:53pm
I was hit dead square in the eye with a
baseball. This caused blood in my eye
and a swollen retina.
The ophthomologist put me on cyclogl (red
top eye drop) to dilate my pupil. After
my retina healed - he took me of the drop
and said it may take a few days to a week
to wear off.
I have been of the drops 2 weeks and my
pupil is still dilated. I had an exam
this morning and he said trauma like this
can cause the pupil to dilate. Asked the
chances of it returning to normal - he
said 70/30.
