👁️ Can Medications Affect Your Vision?
Did you know that some commonly used medicines can impact your eyesight? Here are a few that may cause vision-related side effects:
💊 1. Steroids (Oral or Eye Drops)
Long-term use may lead to dry eyes, blurred vision, and difficulty focusing.
💊 2. Antihistamines & Antidepressants
These medications can cause dryness, blurred vision, and eye strain.
💊 3. Isotretinoin (for acne)
May cause dry eyes, increased light sensitivity, and reduced night vision.
💊 4. Chloroquine & Hydroxychloroquine
Used for arthritis or lupus, but long-term use may damage the retina.
💊 5. Topiramate (for migraines/seizures)
Can cause sudden blurred vision or, in rare cases, lead to glaucoma.
📌 Conclusion: If you’re experiencing any vision changes while on medication, don’t ignore it. Consult an eye specialist promptly.
