My vision changed after surgery
Post-surgical visual concerns need a whole-eye assessment and may require coordination with the operating or another ophthalmologist.
Why this may be relevant
My sight is blurred or distorted after refractive or corneal surgery
- Surgery can change corneal shape, but blur can also come from the tear film or another part of the eye.
- Previous records help the clinician understand what changed and whether the result is stable.
- A specialist lens may provide optical rehabilitation for selected stable corneal irregularity.
A sensible next step
What happens next
- 1For a recent or rapid post-operative change, contact the operating service or seek prompt professional advice.
- 2For a stable visual concern, bring the operation details, reports, scans and current correction where available.
- 3The assessment can explore correction and whether ophthalmology communication is needed.
A lens cannot reverse an operation or treat a surgical complication. New, painful or rapid changes need the appropriate medical assessment.
