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!
