cialis and blurred vision

[monty1690]

I understand that blurred vision can be a side effect of Cialis use. I take 5mg (half the normal dose) every 24-36 hours and i notice that my eyes are dry and my vision VERY slightly blurry. I can see the letters i type here on my laptop but there they are not as sharp as my normal Cialis-free vision.

I'm 35, fit and healthy,eat a good diet, don't smoke, don't add salt to my meals,  but by blood pressure is usually 130/80 which i understand is a bit high. I've been taking the Cialis because i started taking Propecia for mild hairloss and noticed that it reduced my libido - apparently a known, though the manufacturer claims rare, side effect.

The blurred vision is so mild that it is tolerable - i just don't want to permanently damage my eyesight over the long term

I tokk Cialis for the first a almost a week ago and stopped two days ago due to slightly double and blurred vision, something I have never experienced in my life.

To anyone willing to answer, now that I have stopped taking it, will my eye sight get back to normal as the effects completely ware off?

The blurred vision the manufacturer speaks of is non-arteritic, ischemic anterior optic neuropathy. It's assocation with ED products is not totally proven. You are not the typical profile for optic neuropathy. If it makes a quality improvement in your life you may conclude that the risk to your eyes is small and acceptable to take.
