pupil still dilated week after atropine

[yaa1981]

Hi
My 10 year old son got hurt in his eye,took him to doctors,his eye was bloodshot,blurry vision etc but pupils were still reacting fine to light when tested.
Was sent to hospital for further checks and found hyphema which was treated with atropine,1 x drop a day and sufradex 6 x a day.After 10 days now hyphema has settled and he has been off the atropine for the last 2 days but his pupils are still dilated.Doctor said they may always stay a little larger due to tiny muscle tears but if his pupils were fine right after trauma i am left wondering is the doctor right?Is this still the effects of atropine or will the pupils always be dilated?really fsel upset for him as the light hurts his eye and he sees blurry close up.

If you are on atropine it can take 2-3 weeks to wear off. Generally it blurs the near but not distance vision. You best source of whether to worry or not to worry is your retina surgeon

Hi, I had a Vitroectomy last week. My eye is dilated and doesn't seem to react to light. My vision is blurrie with a slight haze and I'm worried. Can the Atropine cause this and how long will it last for after stopping the drops? Should I be worried?

Thanks, Brenda
