mareea2 0 Posted July 12, 2014 Hi, I was sleeved on 7/9 and also seem to have trouble focusing. I hope this is temporary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarsar 824 Posted July 12, 2014 Did either of you have the patch for nausea behind your ear? I've been sleeved over 3 years and didn't have a problem with focusing after that surgery, I didn't have the nausea patch with that either. I did, however, just have plastic surgery on july 1st. For the first few days I couldn't focus or see much up close. Far away was fine. It turned out it was the nausea patch behind my ear that was causing it. After I took it off I was fine after a 1/2 day or so. The anesthesiologist said that whatever is in the patch is the same thing that they use to dilate your pupils when you have an eye exam. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vanessak8 158 Posted July 18, 2014 I just was discharged yesterday I had the scopalomine patch-- it gave me blurred vision ( it can cause your pupils to dialate). It also caused me to have bradycardia. My hr was never higher than 55 and at times was as low as 39. It is back to normal now that I'm not wearing the patch.

Ms.AntiBand 2,984 Posted July 18, 2014 It's normal and most likely from anesthetics. I didn't have any patch and along with myself many have experienced this and it goes away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tina23 1 Posted July 18, 2014 I had the scopolamine patch also! Sleeved 7/11, replaced patch on Mon 7/14 and my eyes became so blurry, couldn't focus it was horrible. I looked up side effects of the patch low and behold blurry vision was a known side effect! I removed patch on Wed 7/16, and rt away i was noticing my eyes were getting their clarity back!! Insane!

I only had to wear that patch for 1 day prior to surgery and 2 days after... Even though I said something about the blurry vision the nurse encouraged me to still wear it because the nausea it was preventing would be far worse than not being able to see my phone clearly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
