Vision Changes Anyone?

[Piplula 709]

As anyone had vision changes. I could not see worth a crap before surgery, but now I cannot see out of my contacts very well at all. I have called my optometrist for a recheck on Saturday. Has anyone else i fed this???

I have an eye apt next wed but find myself having issues with my glasses now and my script hasn't changed for the last 3 years. I don't know what is up but I am down almost 50 lbs and have been noticing it for a little while now.

Yes! I did not associate it with VSG, however. I've had pretty steady eyesite but this last year my eyes got really bad. I do have reading glasses but I never really "needed" them. Now I can't see with them or without them. I am also scheduled for an apt.. I wonder if there's any relationship?! Lets see what others post!

I think I need an eye exam, but it has been awhile sine my last test (for correction). I don't know if it has anything to do with the surgery, my guess would be no relation or very little.

I have glasses for astigmatism, that are so light people regularly think I'm wearing them for cosmetic reasons with just glass in the lenses! I only need them when my eyes are very tired after a long day of computer/book work. Then suddenly around March I noticed one of my eyes doesn't seem to be a strong as the other, that I am favoring one side of my head and turning toward things like a bird and that my glasses don't really help and I have headaches. I need to see an optometrist. But, what on earth about rapid massive weight loss could affect vision?!?!?!?!!

Yes. But ok now. I had a full eye exam and contact exam about 2 months before sugery. I think it was the anesthesia, because i'm better now. (2weeks out). I had alot of trouble seeing close up.

From what I have recently read with no with no medical reasoning, this apparently is a frequent phenomena. Weird...but who knows. I wonder if it has to do with blood pressure...wonder if someone has read something about it...

I actually went back to my old prescription glasses about 3 months post surgery and have been doing well with them. It's about time to have another eye exam now.

Sorry about the typos.. Getting used to my new phone...

It could have something to do with the aqueous humor being less or perhaps more which can effect the shape of our eyeball.

I found this topic on another message board:

One lady said that her eye doctor and NUT confirmed the weight loss and vision link. They also mentioned lack of Vitamin A

Do you mean vitreous humor? The aqueous humor is that tiny bit of Fluid between the lens and the cornea, the vitreous humor is the Fluid that fills the eyeball between the retina and the lens.

I saw a thread a few months back on this subject and the people found out they vision changes but that given a little time, self corrected. They said it was common and it would go back to normal with time.

[Ms skinniness 3,003]

Yep, I met vitreous humor. Thank you. It's been a long, long time since studying this. lol

I have had vision changes for sure & have read that it is a temporary problem with dramatic weight loss. It will correct itself, just like all the other shocks to our bodies...this is just one of thema
