I have had lots of things that could potentially modify my vision over the last few years. Cataracts, Diabetes, Cataract surgery, AP’s, Ozempic use, smoking for years, Entering my 50’s.
It used to be that my vision was good up close but poor at a distance ( Near sighted). Now, after cataract surgery, my vision is pretty good at a distance but lousy up close.
Anyway, I am wondering if others taking antipsychotics have experienced either temporary or more permanent without surgery, vision changes.
I used to have 20/20 vision, probably still do now, but I had to wear glasses early on due to dissociation. I had severe or chronic derealization and depersonalization for years. It went away about 99.999% and I still take meds now. I think meds make it worse, but I also had perception or illusions and it might be considered a positive symptom. I was stuck in my mind or head for several years. It’s probably anxiety related. Caffeine and nicotine make it worse obviously.
I took several supplements and after 7 or so years it went away. I don’t know. I still have cognitive dissociation I guess, but not visual disturbances…they are rare now!
Due to damage from a stroke, my right eye muscle is mostly paralyzed. I have double vision as well. They put a prism in my right lense of my glasses and it helped.
Last time I checked I had 20/60 vision. But lately, staring at a computer screen for long periods of time makes my vision blurry. I might need to get my eyes checked again. It has been a while.
I got surgery and got me from astigmatism to better than 20/20. Since year 11 I had glasses and for about 20 years of contacts and glasses got the surgery which will hopefully save me money over all! It was an ordeal giving complete control to the surgeon!
