weird question about vision post surgery

**metroplexchl** · 12-31-2016 10:20 AM

THis is pretty minor, but I noticed that my close up vision is worse now than it was two days ago pre-surgery. Noticeably so. Anyone else experienced this?

I did not notice any changes but my far vision is my issue, up close vision is ok. All the best to you.

Are you on any anti nausea medications? They can sometimes screw with your vision.

I do have an anti nausea patch behind my ear...

That's probably the culprit.

I definitely experienced this. I took a book to the hospital to read and was unable to do so.

I had a nausea patch and was told that it would dilate my eyes, which it did BIG time. I kept the patch on for a couple days and when I took it off my vision improved.

Definitely something I'd address with my surgeon.

I had that patch from a different surgery. I think it's called scoploamine. The nurse made it pretty clear not to remove it without wearing gloves and that it may effect my vision. I called it a stupid patch because it made me forget what I just did an hour earlier (like how to sit up in bed) As soon as they removed it all the side effects were gone.
