If you were female, I could say definitively that you can experience
temporary vision changes from meds that interact with hormones.
It's the same deal as when the OB tells you not to get new glasses while
pregnant. The hormones alter the fluid balance and the eye can change
shape as a result. This at least goes away when you deliver.
Now isn't this useful??
Have your pharmacist give you the long [professional] insert from your
med: this should tell you damn near everything.
