Eye problems?!

Hi everyone!

I had my sleeve surgery on sept 2013.... I reached my weight goal, and no diabetes or hbp meds!

But, Im very concerned and want to know if anyone have vision or eye problems? I use eye glasses and contact lenses for long time ago....but 4 months after the surgery I began to notice a change in my left eye...Now its worse! My left eye crossed when I try to focus at distance....I saw 2 eye doctors and they cant tell me whats wrong with my eye! I'm desperate because I even drive my car.....anyone with this issue?!

Thank you so much!!

Water? Are you drinking enough? Our eyes need lots of it but I can't think of what else might be causing it. Sorry.

Yea, I usually drink a lot of water...

Get an appointment with a neuro-opthomologist. They are best equipped to help you! Good luck!

There's an archived article that addresses vision issues after WLS on OAC's website. It talks about Vitamin A deficiencies as a possible cause (but you can get too much Vitamin A, which also has effects on vision). You may want to ask about having your levels checked.

Update, I went to my pcp today, she send me to do a lot of blood work, and a head mri.

Then, will we wait the results to see what cause my eye problem. She told me about nerve, or muscle eye problems, tumor, or lyme disease or some infection.... Will see....

News: After MRI, Neurological test, drs appointments, they think I have a eye muscle problem. No accidents, no previous issues, just my sleeve and my weight lost.... :( Now, I have to use prism eye glasses, and waiting for a eye surgery to try to repair my problem. I just can say, that I know that my problem its related with my weight loss and I always take my vitamins, water,etc...
