Went to an eye exam and got my eyes dilated. Assistant asked if I was nursing after the doc already gave me the drops. Will the drops harm baby if I already nursed? The names are Praparacaine hydrochloride and mydriacyl.

honeybear,
We would advise to wait 3-4 hours after receiving Mydriacyl to breastfeed. Since you are asking after you already breastfed we would advise to monitor your infant for sedation, mydriasis (dilation of the pupil), dry mouth, vomiting. The proparacaine is probably ok, it is just a local anesthetic.
