Does your medication cause you blurred vision?

Hi,

Do any of you experience blurred vision during the day whilst you're on medication? It doesn't have to be continuous. I've noticed more so mid morning when I'm looking at something for any length of time. Like in my IPad or reading then when I look up everything is double vision. I've already had my 2yr eye check up and everything is fine except I need an increase on my lens.

Ive only noticed this since I've been on my medication. When I wasn't on these, and my TN was in remission, I never got blurred vision.

What do you think?

    Hi,

    If you are taking Lyrica, I cannot reply as I only took it once and it did not work plus left me with side effects.  I am still in remission after two "Gamma Knife" (radiation treatments).

    There is no one way out of this disease and what works for me, may, or may not, not work for you.

      Hi,

      Thank you for your feedback.

      I told my Dr that I read about Gamma Knife and when he explained it to me I thought no thanks. As I'm ok with Lyrica at the moment, bar the blurred vision, I'll see how I get on for a bit longer.

      Its good to know there are quite a few options out there.

    Occassionally I have experienced some blurred vision.  I think the Lyrica may contribute to this.

      Hi,

      Yes the Lyrica can cause blurred vision. It can be annoying especially when using the iPad or reading. So we can be limited.
