Hi Doctor. Since it has now been over 3 weeks since I stopped the Atropine with no visible sign of any pupil contraction (operated eye pupil always stuck at 5 mm diameter while good pupil is typically at 2.5 mm), I called my doctor. His nurse responded, telling me that he said that it can take 3-6 months for the pupil to return to normal. Is this even feasible and would not such a time frame typically signify permanent damage to the pupil?
Time will tell by 6 months whatever position or shape the pupil is then it is likely permanent. A fixed dilated pupil or a pupil larger than the unoperated eye is not rare after vitrectomy especially if there was previous trauma to the eye
