Answer: Blurred Vision After Eyelid Surgery
Some degree of blurred vision can be expected for a week or two after eyelid surgery, predominantly related to use of lubricating ophthalmic ointment. If your vision has changed or is still blurred at 6 weeks, I would strongly suggest that you see an Ophthalmologist for further evaluation.

Answer: Vision changes
please see an opthamologist as soon as possible - it is possibly a temporary issue but you just want to be on the safe side

Answer: Blurry vision after blepharoplasty
It is possible to have some blurred vision and also some double vision after eyelid surgery especially when the lower lids are done. This can be especially true when looking up or bending down and looking upward secondary to swelling around one of the eye muscles responsible for this function. Blurred vision can also be the result of dry eyes from incomplete closure. Both conditions typically resolve within 3 months. If it is not improving, I suggest you see an ophthalmologist or at least discuss with your surgeon.
