Anaesthetic from operation has damaged my corneas?

I recently had an operation under general anaesthetic. A couple of days after I had blurred vision and went to my eye doctor who said that my corneas have effectively dried out. When I said I'd had an operation he said that the anaesthetic they used.was probably the cause. I am now on medication and eye drops for the foreseeable future until my corneas, which he said are now pitted like the surface of the moon, recover.
Has anyone ever come across this before and do people make a full recovery - in what time?
I was a regular contact lens wearer until this happened and am now unable to wear them anymore.
