Q: 

After having my eyes dilated this afternoon they are still not back to normal. I read this can take up to 24 hours. Is it OK for me to drive in the morning if they are still dilated?

Hi Anon,

Thank you for sharing your question with the EmpowHER community.

You should not drive with your eyes dilated. You will put yourself and others in danger. When dilated, the pupil is unable to block out light in which will causes glare in your vusion.

Be well,
