Sometimes when eye doctors dilate, they use 2 different drugs.

One of them is very long acting. When I had my retinal angiogram this is what they did. My eyes stayed somewhat dilated for 2 more days, before it wore off finally.

Excess adrenaline in the body will dilate the eyes, as will
decongestants like Sudafed. Eyes dilate when people are in pain, excited or in love. During Renaissance, women in Italy often used belladonna to dilate the eyes..
