Is anyone noticing changes in their vision?



Recommended Posts

I'm almost 50, and have been wearing cheaters for quite some time now. However, since the surgery, I feel like my vision has gotten (is getting?) worse. The distance at which I need to put things on to read is getting farther and farther from my nose.

Has anyone had this happen? I wonder if I should see my eye doctor when this is all done...

Yes I have noticed a difference and it's quite annoying. I think it is due to my diabetes becoming under control. I am going to wait till about 3 months and then get a new prescription. I'll ask my dr today at my appointment.

I sure hope this doesn't affect my vision, I got Lasik surgery less than a year ago. My eyes are perfect right now. AHHHHHH!!!! that would be horrible.

Wishing you two the best :)

I had surgery on Feb 1

I took my contacts out on Jan 31 and wore my glasses to the hospital. When I put my contacts back in a few days later I needed to use cheaters to read! I made an eye appointment it is driving me crazy!

I had cataract surgery when I was 55 with implants. My vision changed after the surgery. I've lost 80 lbs in 10 months. What changed for me was the astigmatism. Not better or worse, just changed so the prescription for the computer glasses changed. The eye Dr. couldn't explain it. Maybe from the diabetes going away or losing weight. Who knows?

I had lasik in 2000. When I was 40.

I did mono vision because I know my eyes would change I started wearing reading glasses 3 years ago for close up. I'm looking far away. Yes I noticed a slight difference after surgery maybe its all the meds we were on?! Lol

After I had surgery, I noticed my vision decreased. Thankfully, this was only temporary. It lasted about a week and then went back to normal.

Have you had your Vitamins checked? Some deficiencies can affect your vision.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
