Sugery yesterday

I had the left lobe of my thyroid removed yeterday.  I feel good today and have been eating anyting I can get my hands on.  Obviously, the general anethesia didn't effect my appitite at all.   My question I have for the board is this,  did anyone have any vision related issues after sugery.   My vision has changed to the extent that I cannot read and I'm having a lot of trouble typing this out because I cannot focus on the screen.     I hoping this is temporary and will clear up shortly.

Hi,
I had the left lobe of my thyroid removed nearly 3 weeks ago (it will be exactly 3 weeks tomoro).  I had vision issues where I couldnt focus on anything after I woke up.  I was really struggling to focus and everything was quite blurry.  Mine only lasted about 4 hours after I woke up.  I was told it was the anaesthetic as I was still coming out of the anaesthesia.  Since yours has been for a day now I would definately talk to your doctor about it.  All the best for your recovery.
