Eye problems are relatively rare from anesthesia for ocular and nonocular surgeries. This patient appears to have trouble seeing because she's still waking up from anesthesia, not because she's had permanent visual changes or visual loss, like permanent blindness.

Some surgeries do run the risk of visual loss, in particular prone surgeries, like spine surgery. Also, some forms of cardiac surgery, also called open heart surgery.

Fortunately, these events are quite rare with anesthesia, but small risks do exist in patients with comorbidities.
