Suggest Treatment For Distorted Vision

I am 8 weeks post ADCF surgery, double fusion C456. Several times while being in public, a sudden eye problem in that vision is distorted- wavy lines, objects running together,loss of focus occurs. This lasts only a minute, but it scares me ,especially if I am alone. I've had 3 occurances in a few weeks, but today I had 3 episodes in one store over a period of 15 minutes. I am 64 ,female, and take hydrocodone for pain( one and one half pill a day, 750/325 and Flexeril , one a day.) I called my ns and he said it wasn't related to the surgery, to see my eye doctor. Any thoughts

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having distorted vision with seeing of wavy lines, loss of focus... Since these is occurring in episodes transient ischemic attacks as a cause for these symptoms needs to be ruled out.
The constant presence of these symptoms will indicate eye problem. Since you are having recurrent episodes and you have undergone spinal surgery, need to rule out transient ischemic attack.
Hence I advice you to consult your physician for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
