It’s been about two weeks since my TT and my vision has been blurry. Is something wrong? What should I do?

Question

I called the Doctors office and they said they haven’t heard of that happening to patients. They said to make an optometry appointment if it doesn’t get better. I looked online and it seems as though this has happened to others who have had anesthesia.

Although I dont remember ever hearing this after surgery but I am sure it has been noted or described.Your best plan at this point would be to set up an appointment with a board certified opthalmologist who can do an exam and evaluate why you are having the blurry vision.Hope that helps, good luck.

Dear Exodus152,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit a board-certified opthalmologist  for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD

First of all, congratulations on your tummy tuck, Exodus152!
Blurry vision is a rather uncommon side effect of general anesthesia. Still, it should have been resolved in just a few hours or days after your surgery.
The best thing to do right now is to schedule an appointment with a licensed ophthalmologist to have your eyes checked out and to rule out any other possible reasons why you’re having blurry vision.
Best of luck!
