How long will blurred vision last after anesthesia? I can't see anything close up but I can see far off. I read that this was one of the side effects of being under anesthesia and it should go away in a couple days. I have always had perfect vision so this is very hard for me. When I woke up in recovery my eyes watered for 10-15 minutes but it wasn't until i got home and I tried to read a magazine and text on my phone did I realize that I can't see anymore.

Answer: How long will blurred vision last after anesthesia? Thank you for your question and I am sorry to hear of your blurred vision. Most patients may have blurring for about a day after surgery, largely a result of anesthesia, but also due to any ointment placed into the eye to prevent them from drying out. If you had significant tearing after surgery you may have suffered a corneal abrasion which can also affect your vision. These normally spontaneously heal within a couple of days. If your poor vision persists, voice your concerns with your surgeon, they can refer you to an eye specialist.

Answer: Blurry vision Thanks for your question. I wouldn't say that was a common symptom after anesthesia, but I have seen that happen before. It generally improves after 3-5 days. If it does not, you should see an ophthalmologist to be sure it's nothing more significant. Best wishes.

Answer: How long will I have blurry vision after anesthesia? Thanks for your question! You blurry vision is likely due to the use of a Scopalamine patch before for the procedure. The patch is very effective in helping peri-operative nausea, but can cause haziness to the eyes and dry mouth. The side effects should resolve within 24 hours. If not, I recommend you see your surgeon.
