Brief Answer:
The blurred vision improves by 5-7 days.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to Health care magic
I am Dr Dadapeer k an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
I reviewed your history.

Oxycodone is an opiate drug and it will cause few side effects on stopping the drug after taking for long time. Blurred vision is commonly seen during this period.
These side effects usually resolve by 5-7 days.
Hence you need to wait for another 4 days. I hope by this time you will be fine.

Hope I have answered your question and the information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
With regards
