I have been taking this medication for a little while now, I have had some eye changes to the point that I have to wear glasses all the time now. When you are use to 20/20 vision and all of a sudden you have not got it anymore, it's not a good feeling. So I feel for you, and good luck with your appointment.
Thanks for responding. I am an artist and this has been a difficult side effect to deal with. I doubt anyone would be able to tell us if this is reversible or permanent. Good luck to you, too.
I make Jewelry so it has been really difficult to make things, but I went to a low vision clinic and they found ways to help me out. They did tell me I might get a small amount of my vision back, but not all.
