Retinal Detachment Surgery and dilation

Retinal Detachment Surgery and dilation

This is a post retinal detachment surgical question:

I have had surgery back on June 24th on my left eye
which entails laser, kryo, skleral buckle and victrectomy.
It is now July 31st and the dilation to this eye has not
returned back to its normal size. Is there any explanation
as to when the the pupil will be back to its normal state
or, is it that a nerve which controls the pupil been damaged? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

It is very likely that the drops you were instructed to use after surgery are causing the dilation even if you have stopped using them.  They are designed to keep the eye dilated for a period of time (several weeks) to alleviate possible pressure build-up in the eye.  Your ophthalmologist should be able to tell you what is causing it and how long you can expect it to last.
