Eyes Dilated After Scopolamine Patch, how long will this last?

Thank you for your question.  Scopolamine will help with nausea but may dilate your eyes.  It should wear off in 24 hrs or so.  Best to speak to your physician with any concerns.  All the best. 

Rest assured that your pupils will not remain dilated for ever!Scopolamine which can help with motion sickness is sometimes used around the time of surgery to help prevent nausea. A direct effect of this medication is that pupils can dilate, but not permanently!Likely, within 24 hours your pupils will be back to normal. In the meantime, wear sunglasses to help with light sensitivity. Thanks for sharing!

Scopolamine is frequently used to prevent nausea around the time of surgery.  The medication has an anti-cholinergic effect which causes some people to experience dry mouth symptoms and dilated pupils.  For most patients, the dilated pupils will resolve in 24 hours if not sooner.  Don't be concerned.   You won't have dilated pupils forever. 

The absorbtion from the patch on the skin of the arm, or ear is too little to have an effect on pupil size. Most certainly you touched the patch and rubbed your eyes, likely without be aware of such. The effect should be gone by 24 hours after the last time you touched your eyes with the medication on your fingers.All the best.
