Vision

[Hi2805]

Hi thank you for adding me to your group. I’m just out of hospital having spent a month in with bacterial meningitis and sepsis. I’m struggling with so many things, especially with the change in my vision. Anyone else experienced vision problems?

Hi there, I had the same experience and sepsis. I didn’t experience vision problems straight away but I do now. I am 5 years out of hospital. I now wear glasses for driving and reading.

Take your time in healing as it really knocks you. Mentally and physically.

Rest and I hope you have someone caring for you.

Take care.

That is really sad to hear. Have you recovered from bacterial meningitis and sepsis? In my opinion, approaching a Laser eye treatment( clearviewinstitute.com/ ) would help you to recover from your vision issues. Lasik treatment is a simple painless procedure that serves as the permanent solution to vision problems for many.
