Actually one lens makes it mono vision which is what my LASIK was originally

I am almost 6 months out after sleeve & my eyes are driving me NUTS! I have always worn glasses but am needing to now take them off to do anything up close, like trim my nails. I am also taking them off to read often. With it being 6 mos. out, is it safe now to get a new prescription? I'd hate to have my vision change again after spending the money!

Hi my vision started to blur the day I got on the diet and has gotten worst ever since. I'm very worried. It started on one eye, then both now my vision is blurry on both eyes and both near and far. Please help, I'm freaking out.

I have a great optometrist who told me a few years ago when I had lost 50 lbs dieting that rapid weight loss can cause temporary changes in vision. Sure enough, the glasses I got that day needed to be changed 3 months later--things had returned to pretty much what they had been before the weight loss. I think it's safe to expect we'll have some changes, at least temporary ones.

Please talk to an eye doctor. It could be as simple as changes in your blood sugar but I am not a clinician. You should talk to someone who is! BTW if you Google it you'll find articles on blurred vision with high blood sugar, and also with low blood sugar. Both can have a temporary effect on the lens in the eye. Nothing scary--just temporary. Always best to check with a professional when it comes to your eyesight! Don't let it scare you but get it checked out so you won't worry...

Yesssss! Oh my you are not alone! I'm 47 and I have to wear my cheaters around my neck at all times. I thought I was the only one dealing with this problem! Thank you for posting. Now I feel better that it's not just me.

I am definitely noticing a change. Asked my surgeon's office about it yesterday and they said, yes - others had commented. Also that I should go ahead and schedule appointment with opthomalogist - it's due - because vision change is usually permanent.

Ok, I discovered the problem and it was an easy fix for me.

I was scared out of my butt, but I am happy now.

It was the excess Vitamins, I traded the Protein with added Vitamins for a vegan Protein with no vitamins!

Whew!
