Had my eyes dilated about 4pm yesterday is it normal for them to still be blurry

Mine have never stayed blurry that long but honestly I'm not sure. I would either call hospital you saw consultant at yesterday or your opticians just put your mind at rest. X

Do you think it’s the new eye drops

in reply to

It may be eye drops I have only been on Simbrinza and Ganfort, neither of which make my eyes blurry. I am however on an anti inflammatory drops for operated eye and that is a possible side effect with it , although my eyes have been fine . Have you read the leaflet that comes with drops to see if blurry eyes is a possible side effect. It's a whole new learning curve with Glaucoma x

Just googled fixapost and one of side effects is blurred vision x

Thankyou I only started themat 8am this morning I guess I should give it a few days maybe?

I've just read that blurring should only be transient and not to drive while still blurry. So really they shouldn't still be blurry all these hours later. As it is your first day on them you may well find your eyes will settle down. Why don't you contact one of Glaucoma UK administrators on the forum and ask their advice. I would always err on side of caution with anything to do with my eyes. If not you probably will just carry on worrying about it x

Just read it now and yes it’s a side effect do I bare with it for a while. X

Why not even give Glaucoma UK a call and ask their advice. I personally would do that just to make myself feel better. The chances are it will settle down but just to be on safe side are your blurring isn't transient x
