Field of Vision
« on: April 08, 2010, 12:27:15 pm »
Did anyone else have field of vision problems after surgery?   

Recently went for eye checkup, since surgery have had some visual blurring, not huge but a little off.  Doctor suggested a field of vision test- showed problems.  Dr. said it probably occured during surgery now have to make sure it does not progress, so every six months he will retest. I did have a black eye after surgery.  Anyone else have these issues?  Any insight (no pun intended)? 

Thanks,
Darlene

I did have some eye problems and lived with a wash cloth or pillowcase over my eyes for weeks...it did subside, but I do have a lot of light sensitivity.
No black eyes, but hopefully it will get better as you heal.

Hi Darlene: don't remember a 'black eye' at all post AN surgery.  Didn't have a 'field of vision' test either.
  My vision was okay except for the blurriness due to ointment in my AN eye...
Always good thoughts,  Nancy
