What Does Constriction Of Pupil After Cataract Surgery Indicate?
My husband had cataract surgery 3+ days ago. The doctor used drops to constrict the pupil after surgery to keep the pressure low. It is still constricted. How soon should the normal function return and should he call the doctor s office tomorrow morning? Thanks.

its rare to have constricted pupil till now if a drug was used during surgery. he must have been using pilocarpine eye drops. effect wane off in 6-10 hours after instillation of this drug. But this will not cause any effect on vision outcome. after 5-6 days of surgery he must visit to surgeon for routine checkup
