I had a tummy tuck on Monday and was given the patch to avoid nausea and vomiting that may affect my muscle repair. The patch worked. I had no nausea. But both eyes are very dilated! I knew not to touch my eyes...is it possible for eyes to dilate just from the medication being in your system? Took the patch off about 12 hours ago and eyes are not improving yet and I'm worried. I don't want anything to have a negative effect on my eyes!
