Percocet....effects on vision?


My wife takes 5mg percocet (as prescribed) for chronic pain daily...she has noticed a marked decrease in her vision since doing so and I'd like to know if any users have had similar reactions..she only has vision in one eye anyway and doesn't need to jeopordize that.  Of course her doctor told her "no" and also haze her taking Ibuprofin...she was talking to the pharmacist earlier today who told her DON'T DO THAT...THERE CAN BE NEUOLOGICAL SIDE EFFECTS, something else her doctor didn't tell her...

So..anybody with vision problems after mid-long term use of percocet?


Jim

Blurred vision is a side effect of vicoden and percocets. Hope this helps. It effects me also

I have been on percocet and oxycodone for over 10 years and have not experienced any vision problems but some medications effect some people differently... Maybe if someone took more than prescribed then they would experience vision issues...

     Was it indoor tanning that messed up your sight? Or was it you, not wearing eye protection while tanning that messed up your sight?
Have to agree about the turning 40.
