Eyesight Changes Since Surgery

For years I have had my eyesight change needing stronger RX in my glasses. 27 months ago I had surgery. 22 months ago I changed my RX once more to a stronger lens. The pressures in my eys had been in the mid 20s (cause for concern and required additional testing ... high pressures had been there for a number of years). Imagine my surprise when I went to the eye doctor this week and the pressure had drastically gone down from 2 years ago. Now one eye is at 10 and the other at 15. WOW ... I couldn't believe it. There is theory that high blood pressure and obesity can contribute to our eye pressure being higher. For me I believe that is right on target. I no longer have high blood pressure and with my weight loss I think it has all helped. High pressure in the eyes can be the symtoms of glaucoma, and since my grandmother had glaucoma we were on constan****ch as it can be a hereditary disease. Then the doctor told me that my eyesight had improved 3 levels ... what a great surprise that was for me. I still have to wear glasses, but that is definitely OK. Any one else have changes in their vision since surgery? Mary

Mary, I hadn't put two and two together until now, but my eye sight has not changed any since my surgery. It seemed that my vision got just a little worse each year since turning 35, but my in the last two visits (years) my eye sight has not changed at all. I never thought about it possibly having anything to do with my weight loss, but what you say makes sense! Thanks for sharing yet another good thing that has come from this wonderful surgery! Wanda

It is amazing isn't it!!! Will be interesting to see how long it will stay stable or if it will improved for you too. Mary
