Has Anyone's Eyesite Changed since Surgery?

I thought I was crazy but I'm close to 3 weeks out now and it hasn't improved. My eyesite has changed since surgery. I can't read a book now without taking my glasses off. Guess I'm going to have to give in and go see the eye doctor and get bi-focals - arrrrg. I'm getting old...... Did anyone else notice this or am I a complete weirdo??? Carolyn

I dont think you are a weirdo... When I read your post I remembered that I was just complaining to my mother that I needed glasses to read now. Vitamin A should help this problem. Jenn

Here I thought I was the wierdo. My first week I could not read at all. I'm much better now, but not 100%. I plan on an appt w/ eyedoctor as well. I wonder what has caused this? I assumed it to be the anesthesia. I'm 25 days out.....down 24 elbows. Cc

I remembered my eye doctor telling me when I was pregnant that my presciption might change due to the change of fluid and pressures in my body...so I assumed the same thing could happen after WLS. I asked around a few forums on here and it seems fairly common. I skipped my March appointment for new glasses because I figured it'd be changing so there was no point.

Carolyn, I love that name ! My mom 's name is Carolyn and she is deceased but the name is so beautiful ! I guess i am a weirdo too ! I never had a problem before surgery with my eye sight but now ( I am only 2 week's out ) I feel such a strain when reading and looking at my computer ! My eye's feel so tired and hurt ! I was just telling my husband this morning that a trip to the eye doctor is in my near future ! Good luck when you go see your eye doc and let us know how you make out ! and Carolee 328/253/?

I also had a change in my eye site. It was really bad the first week but is getting better now that I am taking my vitamins. I was concerned but I think it will correct itself. Terrie

I have experienced the same thing. My eye sight has taken a dump. I just got a new prescription about two months before surgery and now my eye sight stinks. I couldn't beleive my eye's would need a correction in such a short time. I think I will give it a little time before going to the eye doc.
