Blurred Vision

I fell asleep and had my hand over my eye. When I woke up my hand was partially stuck to my eye. It is my left eye. It wasn't really painful other than when I first removed my arm. Now my vision is blurry in that eye and I have trouble focusing it. Is this something I should be concerned about and see a doctor about or will it pass after some time.

I had cataract surgery on jan. 21, and since then i had this terrible glare  and i feel that i have to wear dark glasses even at home. I told my doctor , he evaded my concern and repeated that all is well in my eye, the lens placement is perfect and the incision is healing . I felt like an idiot and thought that my problem must be psycological. this morning God sent me to this forum to discover that i am not crazy . thank you so much for sharing your problem , it seems that i have all the symptoms that you have ,what a relief ! i am not alone .........I already have 3 pairs of sunglasses . i am a nurse and had no clue about this complication after cataract surgery. thank you again from the bottom of my heart.......................sonia

I would use artificial tears available over the counter every 30-60 minutes. It should be back to normal tomorrow. If you have pain or not back to normal tomorrow see an eye MD (Find one at www.aao.org)
