What Causes Persistent Dilatation Of The Eye Post An Injection For AMD?

Hello, MY wife is 65 yrs old . She had her eyes dilated today for a cataract surgery exam. Her eyes are still dilated after 8 hrs. She's concerned there might be a problem. Her eye color is a medium value of blue. Also, she had her eyes dilated 8 days ago for an amd injection. Could there be a kind of cumulative effect?
