One member of my Club is an ophthalmologist. This was one question we put to him. There is no advantage to be gained from these drops. Why? You are forgetting that it isn't just the pupil that the eyes have, but a sensitive retina that is what is actually needing the time to adjust for the dark. The pupils will fully dilate very quickly. It is the retina that takes longer to adjust. And this process cannot be accelerated. So now you see why the is nothing to gain from such drops.

These drops also won't open your pupils any more than they can. While our pupils typically get smaller as we age, the drops won't have the pupils open up to the size when you were 15 years old. So again, nothing to gain.
