Brief Answer:
Tobramycin blurred vision is caused only for a shorter time duration
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Tobramycin does not cause permanently blurred vision. If it's from that, it will last just for some minutes- caused from the hydrating component of the drops or ointment.
If the blurred vision lasts more than 10 minutes, then you should go back to your doctor because you might be having a complication of your eye problem, and may need another medical care other then Tobramycin.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
