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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
