Hey Susie, congratulations on your quest to be done with pillhell. Hang in there. About the eyes: your pupils are dilated for several days as you are coming off the opiates. It's very annoying & drove me crazy for a few days. The pupil dilation is due to the same thing as much of the other w/d'l symptoms: it's the complete opposite effect of a side-effect that's commonly caused by the opiates.For instance, opiates are generally very constipating & so in withdrawal there is the complete opposite effect (the runs) until your body begins to get back into its natural balance, chemically & hormonally, etc. Likewise, opiates cause pin-point pupils (constriction) and thus in w/d'l you'll have large (dilated) pupils until the body's back into balance. It's known that a part of the cause of severe headache in w/d'l is actually from eye-strain since you are, during this time, constantly squinting & straining to focus. This will pass soon. Hope this helps. 14.5 days here!
