Eyedrops

[pne]

Went to the optician's this afternoon; in order to look at my retina, he gave my eyedrops to enlarge the pupil.

He said the effect would wear off after an hour or so, and while I can now focus on things again, my pupils are still huge and I'm a bit sensitive to light. (After coming home, I spent the first hour and a half or so with my eyes closed.)

I have this done once a year, and after an hour, it usually has just fully started. As the others already said, it takes 4-5 hours to wear off.
The first time I had my pupils dilated, it was a bright sunny summer day. I could barely walk home with my eyes practically closed... Now I schedule my yearly eye checks always in the winter/spring time, when it's not so bright outside.
