blurred vision on waking
Posted: 05-12-08 13:05pm

I had an operation several years ago, I have had intermittent blurred vision since.

Every morning upon waking my vision is blurred, I suffer from episodes of blurred vision and also experience problems at night.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I don't think the surgery is related to your loss of vision. When you dislocated your law, was it due to some sort of trauma? I think you need to schedule a MRI right away. Blurred vision is dangerous and since you've already been dealing with it for years, it might not seem to dangerous to keep it like that, it's good to know what's causing it. If the MRI shows nothing, you should see an optometrist for an exam.

Hi I have had 2 MRI scans, seen 2 Neurologists, Opthamologists

had loads of tests done, the only possible answer is the anaesthetic,

although my blood pressure did drop low during the op

I just want an answer as to what is causing the problem

remains a mystery

Ohhh, ok, you've done all that "stuff". A lot of people who come haven't gone that far. I wanted to make sure all the grounds were covered. Are you in any pain and does it only hurt when you move your eyes or make it worse?

I am thinking that maybe there is fluid or swelling (edema or otherwise) built up behind your eyes. It could be from the surgery or from natural fluids produced by your body's reflexes. Maybe there isn't enough room for drainage. This is just a guess of mine, but if you think about it: when you've been lying down, all the fluid comes to rest in one place at the back of your eye. It's so little that maybe it doesn't cause pain, and it shifts when you are active, so it's not really noticeable during the day. At night you aren't as active, your eyes are tired, straining to see, so you're having that fluid in the way again. Anyways, just a little interesting theory of mine.

Anyhow, the following is a link to a page that might help you too. I hope you find the problem!
