Before my RNY I had very bad diabetes and had a different Rx. for my eye glasses. My glasses that I had made when I had real bad issues with my diabetes are not working so well now since I no longer take the meds for it and no longer have sugar problems. I am wearing a pair of glasses I had made before I really had any problems with diabetes. So it seems like my vision has gotten better since I don't have sugar issues anymore ????... Has anyone else experienced this problem?

My vision has greatly improved. Prior to surgery I had been diagnosed as a diabetic, but post surgery I am now fine. I'm a lot healthier in more ways than one. My sight is back to near perfect, but my focus is an issue so they are treating that.

Did you have dizziness? I have been super dizzy for the last two weeks and started wondering if it could be my eyes. I had blood work last week but it is not back yet. I think I will make an eye appt too!

Recently I got strict about my tracking and trying to lower my blood sugar (had been in the 400s). Now that its down to the mid- to high- 100s I'm noticing everything close up is very blurry. Has anyone experienced this? Do you think my eyesight will stabilize as my blood sugar stabilizes to a more normal level? Should I see an optometrist or an ophthalmologist?

Charity, I would go with an opthamologist they are also MDs as well as eye specialists. Sounds like your eyes are going farsighted, early for it to be part of aging, so get it checked out. Might just need a new glasses prescription.
