Has anyone has issues with eye problems with Lyrica? I have optic nerve damage and my neurologist said it wouldn’t effect my vision. It does see to help with my neuropathy in my legs and feet but I am unsteady. Do the side effects go away?

Call your doctor at once if you have:
weak or shallow breathing;
blue-colored skin, lips, fingers, and toes;
confusion, extreme drowsiness or weakness;
vision problems;
skin sores (if you have diabetes);
easy bruising, unusual bleeding;
swelling in your hands or feet, rapid weight gain (especially if you have diabetes or heart problems); or
unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness (especially if you also have fever or don't feel well).

I did call my neurologist. She said it shouldn’t effect my eyes. Also, my neuro ophthalmologist said the same thing but I know it is causing blurry vision. Thank You for answering my question. Hod Bless You
