Do eye drops cause your eyes to dialate?

If you're talking about drops like Visine, the answer is actually yes.  If the drops have an antihistamine in them, dilation can be one of the side effects.  If you're wondering if the drops your using have that side effect, check the box or insert - it should say.

People who have poor sleeping habits usually experience this. A high sodium diet or drinking water near bedtime can cause fluids to be retained in the eye. Normally, this should not happen. But poor sleep causes the body to forego some functions, like deal with water in your eyes.\n\nThat is why most beauty gurus recommend a cold compress to get down the swelling (it is similar to swelling in some injuries). Also, since it goes away as the day passes, that means that it is nothing serious, and is most likely related to a habit, like sleep :)

Sudafed will not help.  It is a decongestant.  What you need is an antihistamine like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or Claritin (loratadine).\n\nI'm not sure why, but my pharmacist strongly encouraged me to NOT use Visine or similar products.  If you want an effective, quick-acting eye drop, you could try Patanol, although it is only available by prescription.

Zoloft and Effexor both are known for causing side effects in a lot of people.  I don't know about Tofranil, but I would ask the doctor and the pharmacist if they know why your pupil dialated & if they have ever heard of it happening on anti-depressant.

Atropine effect the muscles in the eye that are responsible for contarcting and dilating the iris. When atropine is administered these muscles are temporarily paralysed and dilate. This dilation causes the the flow of liquid (aqueous humor) to be restricted thus raising the pressure within the eyeball.\nOne of the main symptoms of Glaucoma (specifically acute angle closure glaucoma) is an increase in pressure with the eye ball that causes pain and damage to the optic nerve and requires emergency treatment. Therefore any drug that will cause an increase in the pressure within the eye ball will not be administered to patients with acute angle closure glaucoma.

Carrots. Because they contain vitamins and rabbits don't wear glasses! Sorry couldn't resist! \n\nTry eye drops if your eyes are too dry. Also go to your optician and check that your eyes haven't deteriorated. You may need stronger glasses or a different type.

It can be very freaky when this happens. I suffer from it myself sometimes when I am stressed or tired. There is no cure that I know of that will get rid of it. but I find if I gently rub the area it calms down after a while.\nBasically it is just a muscle spasm. We get it sometimes in other parts of the body all the time but don't necessarliy notice. \nTo put your mind totally at ease, pop to your local optician. They will be able to check the health of not just your eye but your blood pressure and other health issues too.............. unbelievable but true. The eyes tell us so much!!\nIt may be that you have slight eye strain too. You may need to have a pair of low prescription glasses which will aid your vision and take the stress from your eyes. \nHave a couple of days away from the computer if you can. or make sure you take lots of breaks away from it. This can sometimes cause slight strain if you are sat too close or for a long period of time.\n\nGood luck

Drops for dilation are typically given in office in order for the physician to be able to see your retina. The are not an absolute must after retinal surgery and some physicians do not prescribe them.  It is not uncommon to keep a patient dilated in order to prevent added strain and further detachment on the retina which may be caused by the natural focusing of you eye when you use it.  Is your eye patched?  If so then I do not believe dilation drops would have much of an added benefit.  \n\nMore of a concern is your fever and pain and redness.  You should review your post-surgery instructions and if they indicate that you should watch for fever then a trip to the ER or urgent care clinic may be in order.  A post-surgical infection is NOT a matter that should be taken lightly.

It sounds like just an infection.  The best thing to do is not wear your contacts for a few days.  Even if your eye goes back to normal its best to wait another day or two afterwords before using your contacts again.  If these symptoms don't subside, i would seriously recommend seeing an eye doctor.

Yes, it leads to blindness.  I can only see out of one eye now due to excessive consumption during my youth.  If only Yahoo Answers had existed then!

its temporary\nbut if you wore goggles it could be avoided possibly\n\nNO do not put eye drops in, because there are chemicals in the eye drops and you don't want to mix those chemicals with the chemicals already in your eyes, it could be dangerous for your eyes

No although some might get mixed in.  Your eyes are a mucus membrane and produce mucus for lubricating and then you get the dregs so to speak in the corner of your eye normally.  What is not normal is when you have large amts and eyes are red and runny.

if they aren't prescribed they can hurt your eyes.
