This is so odd and the only thing I think could be causing it is my VSG surgery, even though it doesn't make sense! I had my VSG on January 9. Right before that I had my annual eye exam and my eyes had not changed in a couple years. Same prescription. I went back to the eye doctor a couple of weeks ago and suddenly my eyesight in my right eye has gone from a -5.50 to a -6.50 (yes I'm blind as a bat!) All since my surgery! my left eye got a little worse too but not as much as my right eye. So now, two weeks later, I am noticing my vision is not as clear in my right eye which means it has gotten worse within two weeks! I have another appointment for Wednesday. Has anyone had this happen or heard of it?

yes my perscription went up as well..odd

I felt like it happened to me, but I don't have it documented like you do. Not long after surgery, I had a new prescription. Within a month, it felt like I couldn't see well with my new prescription. I wrote about it here somewhere. I believe my contacts didn't feel right either. It did get better eventually.

my optometrist said I had dry eye syndrome and perscribed 2 eye drops, it took three visits before they wrote the perscription. Maybe this is why, becuase they said they couldnt get the perscription right until it was addressed.

This happened to me as well. My eye doctor said rapid weight loss can change the shape of the eye, resulting in a vision change. After a period of time it stabilizes.

Mine did as well. My Vitamin A level was low. My vision was restored to my pre-surgery sight after boosting that level back up.

No, mine changed when I turned 40!!!

Today i had my eyes checked and I'm so blind. Had to boost up my contacts and the new glass I have had my glass for six months or not sharp. I do mono vision and hoping this work or i will

have to go back to glasses only. Not a happy camper ;(

This same thing happened to me as well. All the medicine I took for nausea said "may cause blurryness in vision". Well, I definitely had blurry vision. The problem is when I stopped taking the medicine my vision never returned to normal.

This is timely, I also am feeling that I am not seeing as well as I did pre op. I chalked it up to having anesthesia but reading the posts I was amazed, that I might not be loosing my mind. I will be going in to get new glasses, but I hope it stabilizes before I get my new glasses. I remember when I have had surgery in the past, that with the bigger surgeries, I did have a vision decrease. I wonder if there is any research to this phenomena?

I did read something a few months back about wls causing declining eye sight. I think it was to do with lower calorie. Try googling it.
