Can long term dilated pupils cause damage to the eyes? Let's say it's induced by medicine.

I can't find an ans on the internet. Seriously though, would letting too much light into your eyes cause long term damage?

I was engaged to a girl with one pupil permanently dilated. Night vision and night time driving ability was significantly reduced.

"if both eyes are dilated, it's usually a drug-related rather than a disease-related problem," says Jason Slakter, M.D."

Lay off the drugs.

"Review your medications. If both pupils remain dilated more than a day, your physician should be able to pinpoint the medication that may be causing the problem. Be sure to let him know about any over-the-counter medicines or eye-care products that you are using. "

Or see a doctor.
