    You could try a veterinary opthimologist if there is one in the area. General vets are IMHO about as good as general practitioners for humans. They're good for vaccinations and check ups but don't ask them to go beyond that.

    As Karen said, a dilated eye does not hurt, just keep out of bright places. And each person returns to normal at different times.

    Follow your vet's instructions, and consider seeing an eye specialist.

    Dilated eyes are no worries, just kind of painful if you're exposed to sun. I don't get mine dilated anymore because, like Karen, it takes FOREVER for mine to go back and I usually develop a migraine from it.

    My eye doctor told me it takes longer for brown eyes to return to normal, I don't know if that is your case too Karen, but that was mine .

    I promise your dog will be fine though, just give him some time.

    It's funny, Bri, my eyes are pale blue/grey, no brown at all. And Paul's eyes are even a little lighter blue than mine! So it is definitely different person-to-person. The last time I went the doc used a much lighter dose of the dilating solution, as she had seen just a year before, so that was nice of her. When you are terribly nearsighted, like I am, they like to dilate it to check for any retina action, as people who are very nearsighted have a higher incidence of retina detaching, which is something I would much rather avoid!
