Has anyone used this for short term reversal of pupil dilation caused by other drugs? A bottle appears to be fairly cheap, and the drops seem to be relatively safe. I don't want this to get distracted by a discussion of why you would want to mask dilated pupils. I would not be using it regularly - just have it on hand if I suddenly needed to go somewhere that would be inappropriate with blasted pupils; most likely after the original drug effects had largely subsided, but lingering mydrasis remained.
 
Hey, I got no replies, so idk if that just means nobody knows, or nobody is interested. In case it's just the former, pilocarpine works pretty well. A single drop in each eye will reverse mydrasis in a matter of minutes. It also stings a small bit and makes my eyes red. I've found that using visene about 5 minutes after the pilocarpine drops works to get the red out. This is great for the situation I mentioned above where you have already come down and want to get rid of the lingering dilation when you need to go to work or otherwise interact the unsympathetic folks. The only potential issue is that it my work too well. Pupils can get very tiny. While I feel this is less noticeable and less questionable, it can also interfere with vision - I couldn't read very fine print.
