Vision

Has anyone experienced a change in you vision after surgery. I have lost around 50 lbs so far and it seems that my vision is changing. I wear progressive glasses and am looking through the bottom reading area to see my monitor. 

I have not!  However, I was concerned about this too pre-op and, from what I could tell, it's mainly something that people who are diabetic (or pre-diabetic) experience.  

I've had to get my glasses adjusted 2-3 times since surgery, but just because of fit issues, not vision issues. 

I don't attribute the vision changes to surgery as I've noticed changes b4 surgery. It has more to do with age & diabetes. My vision would sometimes get a little blurry after staring at a computer monitor all day, so I have to step away from it from it for awhile and look at something at a distance. looking at something close up, I'd sometimes look over my glasses, it's not bad, but eventually I'll need different glasses. Ahh age, it catches up with everyone. I'm 44 years young!

I had a major change in my vision. Before I had my consult I got new glasses which were much stronger than my old ones. After my consult I was put on an all liquid diet. At the same time I discovered I had uncontrolled blood sugar. The liquid diet immediately changed that (went from 286 to 89). After about 2 weeks I was back to my old glasses as my new ones were way too strong. 

You're at the age that your vision is changing anyway.  My optometrist said when I was 40 to expect changes for about 5 years and I'd stop.  I'm 44 now and he's been right so far.  If you're looking for a nutritional reason, have your vitamin A checked.

Thanks for the reply. Based on the other replies it looks like I am just getting old.. Will check my vitamin A levels.
