A member asked:

When a pituitary tumor is removed does the blurry vision or visual problems go away or are they permanent?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Sometimes: It depends on the size of the tumor , it's location and how long vision has been compromised sometimes but not always there is improvement.

Depends: It depends on how extensive the damage is to the optic nerve. Often it resolves but not always.
