Vision after conjunctival naevus removal surgery is usually stable within a couple of weeks, though surface irritation and drops can cause short-term blur.
Early visual changes
The eye surface may feel rough and watery at first. Ointment and inflammation can make sight slightly hazy, especially later in the day.
- Blur is often worst just after applying ointment
- Reading and screen work may feel more tiring for a few days
- Colours and overall focus should remain broadly normal
- Report sudden dark shadows, severe pain, or major vision loss urgently
- Most everyday tasks remain manageable with care
Settling over the next weeks
As the conjunctiva heals, vision usually returns to your normal level. The operation mainly changes appearance rather than eyesight.
- Many people feel vision is stable within 1-3 weeks
- Lubricating drops help smooth residual scratchiness or dryness
- Glasses prescriptions rarely need alteration
- Arrange a routine eye test if you notice persistent blur
- Seek review if vision worsens instead of improving
