Vision Changes After Surgery? Temporary?

[logicwand 269]

First few days after surgery, I had a really hard time texting anyone from my phone (or posting updates here lol). As soon as I had to read small letters, I would get dizzy and they would look blurry. It has gone away for the most part, but I still feel like my eyes are off. I also notice that if I look at the moon, or a digital clock, it's more blurry/hazy than I remember seeing them before. I read online that it could be an effect of the anesthesia. Anyone else experience this?

I had my surgery on Sunday and I can say the same when it comes to reading something on the screen. Now normally I do wear glasses but normally in front of the computer I do not use it. I did notice that the words are a bit more hazy and blurry than usual. Normally I see them clear at this distance without glasses.

I definitely experienced this although I noticed it more with distances like trying to read street signs. I'm 8 days post-op and it seems to be getting better.

Was blurry for me too. I kept buying reading glasses! I had no idea it was from surgery. now 6 weeks post op and its all normal. THank God

Did you get the scapolamine patch behind your ear. I think it causes blurred vision.

I did! Hmm. My eyes are feeling a bit more normal now.

I've had lasik and when I get tired or dehydrated my vision can swim. I got it after surgery and figured it was the same root.
