changes in vision

I am 4 days post op.. I usually use readers for close up detail. Since the surgery I feel like my equalibrum is off, sometimes dizzy when i stand. But whats really annoying is i need my glasses on all the time. Is this normal for the proceedure? How long does it last.

    I have to wear glasses or contacts because I am blind as a bat seeing far away, I am able to read close up with my glasses or contacts. However, after surgery I had to take my glasses off in order to read my cell phone or read anything close. Now it seems as things are back to normal, thank goodness!

    This also happened to me. I actually was getting quite nervous because I couldn't even see my phone to dail numbers. My sister thought it was a side effect to the pain medicine. My surgery was on a Wednesday and my eye sight begin to improve on Sunday.. back to normal within 7 days.. Not sure what causes it but I do

    feel better knowing it wasn't just me..

    Best of luck,

    Anna Marie

    How long after surgery did the swelling go down in the stomach area? I'm new to this and get my blog question out there?
