Vision Problems

I'm 2 days post op and having vision problems. I can see far away with my glasses on but to read anything on my phone I have to take my glasses off. Has this happened to anyone else?

      When I left the hospital on my 2 day post-op I had that nausea patch behind my ear, and I was told that because I had touched it then my eyes after it had made my pupils really enlarged.

    How old are you?

    You just described my eyesight after age 42 1/2.

    My nurse just called and I asked her about it and she said it was probably due to the anesthesia and should clear up in a couple days. Thanks for all the relies.

    I don't think this is anything to worry about. I have had a lot of major surgeries and I always have blurred vision for a few days up to a week. It just takes a time to get all that anesthesia out of your system.

    Congratulations on getting to the other side! Your life will change for the better.

    I think it was all the drugs they pump you full of. I couldn't read anything for a few days and I have perfect vision.
