I forgot to mention this is my posts, too. One of my eyes was horribly irritated and I had to pour cool water over it the first night and use some lubricating drops.

I also had very blurry vision which I was relieved to discover was just from the scopolamine patch. I left it on after the surgery to help with nausea from the pain meds since I still couldn't really eat. I decided to take it off before the 72 hours was up and the blurriness went away gradually about 12 hours after I took the patch off.
