Does Eyelid Surgery Cause Fuzziness and Very Sensitive to Light?

Done properly, upper or lower eyelid surgery should not cause long term vision fuzziness or light sensitivity.  Some of these symptoms may be present for a few days after surgery but should quickly resolve.  These symptoms most commonly are caused by some form of injury to the covering of the eyeball, ( conjunctiva or cornea ) and will usually resolve over time if correctly treated.  A visit back to your plastic surgeon should be first then perhaps a visit to an opthalmologist for a complete eye exam.

It's very common to have fuzzy vision during the first week or two following blepharoplasty.  This is because ointments are commonly used around and in the eye which can blur the vision and because the intial swelling and tightening around the eye can actually cause some physical distortion of the cornea (the clear dome over the colored part of your eye).  These effects are almost always temporary.  If any blurring lasts longer than a month, you should have your vision checked to see if your refraction or astigmatism has changed.

Sensitivity to light is less common. This can be caused by dryness or even a superficial injury to the cornea, possibly even caused by an infectious agent.  Since I don't know how long ago you had surgery or how your symptoms have progressed, I would suggest you see an optometrist or an ophthalmologist to get a slit lamp examination of the surface of your cornea if this is not improving.
