Can Blurred Vision Be Caused By Anaesthesia?
I had a colonoscopy on Tuesday. When I got home I took a nap and woke up and my eyes were very blurry. Now 4 days later it s a little better but my eyes still don t focus correctly and seem to be sensitive to light as well. Is this a result of the anesthesia? How long does this typically last?

Hello,
It’s uncommon for Anaesthesia’s effect to last this long. Usually, it resolves within 12-24 hrs. If even after 4 days you are experiencing this symptom then you need to get yourself evaluated with an ophthalmologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
