Describe blurred vision after general anesthesia?

Variable.: Often under general anesthesia the doctor or nurse will put artificial drops or ointment to prevent the eyes from drying out. Everyone dissolves these at a variable rate. This should go away in a short time unless it is from something else totally rare.

Dry eyes!: Quite often during general anesthesia your eyes will dry out, and even be slightly open allowing the surface to dry out. When you come through the anesthesia the surface of the cornea is very dry, and results in blurry vision until the surface rehydrates, usually 2-48 hours.

See below: Under general anesthesia you are asleep and you eyes are usually protected with tape and/or lubricant. Once you wake up it can take some time for your to blink the combination of sleep and lubricant out of your eyes. You also are likely to have blurred vision due to the effects of some of the anesthetic agents. This clear rapidly.
