Glasses and Contacts After WLS

Was anyone told to wait a certian amount of time before getting a new RX for contacts or glasses? I know that after you have a baby you should wait at least 6 weeks for your hormones to calm down as they can affect your vision and RX. I have been told that WLS also affects our hormones. When does that calm down? My glasses were bugging me before surgery and now they are really bugging me. However glasses are not cheap at all and I have no insurance. Any help is appriciated.

My eye doctor told me at my last visit (9 months out) that my eyesight had changed dramatically.  He said that losing so much weight caused the eye to flatten out.  So I no longer have an eyeglass restriction on my drivers license and only use glasses for fine work and small print. 

If you can, I would wait until you get close to your goal weight.  But that is just my opinion.

I was definitely never told this and my eyesight has not changed at all. It might depend on what your issues are. Mine are severe nearsightedness and slight astigmatism.

Have never heard that.  My eyeglass prescription did not change after surgery or after losing all the weight.

I feel like my vision is changing

My vison has stayed exactly the same

I feel like mine is changing. But it is time for another eye exam, so it could be just naturally changing and have nothing to do with my surgery. But I do find myself wearing my glasses when I want to see CLEARLY, and wearing contacts when I'm going to be outside for a while and will need to wear my sunglasses.
