But the underlying political conflicts had not been resolved, and on the Ides of March (15 March) 44 BC, Caesar was assassinated by a group of rebellious senators led by Marcus Junius Brutus.

Most dilation drops last 3-4 hours with a small number of patients staying dilated for 24-36 hours. If they used homatropine or atropine for some reason, you can stay dilated several days to several weeks. It is always a good idea to let the office know if you are still dilated the next day.
The dilating drops that we typically use last, on average, 4-6 hours before they wear off. Occasionally, we use longer lasting eye drops in younger children, which can last approximately 24 hours. Most people do feel comfortable to drive after their pupils have been dilated. However, if you have never had your pupils dilated before (and therefore don't know if you will feel safe or not), we recommend that you bring a driver or arrange for someone to pick you up after your exam.
