Question Title: Retinal tear / Viagra

Forum: The Eye Care Forum
Topic: Misc (Eye Problems)


Approximately 10 years ago I flashes
appearing in one eye, along with floaters.
I was told I had a retinal tear and to get
immediate attention if I noticed any vision
problems. Approximately 3 years ago I
noticed flashes in the other eye. Other than
that, I do not have any other eye problems
that I am aware of.
I was given a prescription for viagra, but am
concerned about any vision
side-effects,especially with the retinal
tear. Should I be concerned?


To my knowledge, there is no association between Viagra and worsening of retinal tears. There has been some association of Viagra and blurred vision. You should have your retina checked on a regular basis given your history.

Good Luck.
