cant see good???
« on: April 11, 2008, 06:13:14 pm »
Ever since my AN surgery on my left side my vision is really bad out of that eye.  In the beginning it was dry eye and couldnt blink they put the weight in, but my vision is still bad and getting worse I think. anyone else out there in AN world have this problem?? ???

Hi Linny:  my vision is very blurry on the AN side, but it's because I have to keep it lubricated 24/7.  Can't be without it.
Is it the eye drops/lubricant causing it, or something else ?    I routinely go to my opthalmologist every 3-4 months to check my cornea.
Any changes I notice with vision, etc, it's off to the opthalmologist I go - better safe than sorry.

Take care my friend,  always good thoughts,  Nancy

Linny~
What was explained to was that even though the eye is getting enough lubrication to protect it, it is not quite enough to provide it so that vision is perfect 100% of the time.  I have trouble seeing perfectly out of that eye but it is SSSSSSSOOOOOOOO much better after the weight that I will take what I can get -- even if it is only a few seconds at a time!
