Does anyone know why? Reversble?

[Elsibeth]

Does anyone have to deal with the blurred vision?

Im taking Utract DS 3xs a day, Elmiron 2x2 pills a day, Amitryp. 2xs a day, I just started Ditropan XL 10mg 2-3x a day, Prelief 2-3xs a day, Darvocet PRN or 2xs a day, LoraTab 7.5 PRN or avg 1-2 a day usually PM, Neurontin 100mg 3xs a day.
I think the Uritract causes blurred vision and I also think The Diptropan does, but this is a bit much, ve had to buy bifocal lenses and it seems every week it gets worse.
is this normally what happens when you take these meds for a ;png time?
Is it reversble???????????????
Im an Artist. Please dont tell me Im losing my sight?
Should I be concerned because it seems to be getting worse, everyday i feel like the distance from my eyes to the objects gets longer.
Ive gone from a 1.75 to a 2.50 in less than 2 weeks, it this normal?
Prior to being diagnosed I wore contacts but it was a minor correction for poor vision at a distance..

I coukd some answrers please?
Hugs and thank you,

It's possible your problem could be from medications --- have you seen an ophthalmologist to rule out other possibilities? I also suggest you talk with your doctor about your vision problem.

I think some people are more sensitive to the side effect of blurred vision. I am one of those. Many of the medications I have tried, Ditropan, Detrol, Vesicare have caused blurred vision. In fact before my IC diagnosis I knew Phenergan caused blurred vision. After I was on Vesicare for 3-4 weeks I noticed an improvement in in my vision, I guess my body was adjusting to the medication.

I had seen an Optometrist and complained of the same thing....and what I was told is that because those medications aid in your bladder muscle, it may well be affecting other muscles in the body as well. So every time your eyes try to focus, those muscles in your eyes may be having problems focusing because the meds are interfering. Like muscle twitches.

I stopped all meds for some time now and I just wear my glasses for night driving or TV. :)
