Problems after eye dilation

[Son_day]

I recently got my eyes dilated with tropicamide and phenylephrine on October 9th 2017. A week and 2 day's later I say ghost images in light and starburst with and without my glasses. It's November and its still going on. Has anyone else had this same effect and if so did it take time to go away. I talked to the eye doctor but she doesn't seem to to care

Those medications would be pharmacologically  completely metabolized by now even in the most sensitive blue eye. It's possible that you may have had your cornea dried out by the topical anesthetic almost always used also to measure the intraocular pressure. It's then possible to cause a cornea abrasion and have what is called recurrent cornea erosions as a mechanism of your complaints.  A minimum by the "eye doctor" that did the examination would be for you to come in for an office visit and examination of your eye especially your cornea to see if this is a problem.  It is reasonable to expect that to be done at no charge which is something we do when this infrequent problem comes up in our practice.
