No: I have not had the experience but i understand swelling, infection, or local anesthetic can be a temporary cause. Even so, a call to your surgeon now is prudent.

Not normal: Tooth extraction is a surgical procedure and is not completely risk-free. Pain, swelling and infection following surgery is usually at its worst 24 – 48 hours after surgery. After that it should subside more and more every day and after 7 days stop. Your symptoms could be a temporary condition and resolve on their own See your dentist for post-op appointment after 7 days.

Not normal: Visual problems do not typically occur after tooth extractions. Call the dentist who did the extraction about this and see if a follow up is needed.
