I have no eye damage per se, and certainly nothing that could be attributed to amiodarone. Were you perhaps mistaking me for another poster? If it was something I said, please refresh my memory and I'll clear it up.

I was six days post-ablation and had gone to my GP per the instructions handed to me by the nursing staff at the cath lab. My GP detected that I was fibrillating when he felt my wrist pulse and asked me to go to the ECG lab at the hospital. I was admitted immediately based on the findings. My rate was 180 and up, but with rapid ventricular response (RVR), meaning I had to have the rate controlled down to 100 or less within 24 hours....ideally. With consultation, the internist in the ER said he would start me on amiodarone with 400mg BID (twice daily) for one week. This was the loading dose. For the next four weeks, I was to take 200mg BID, and then two weeks with one 200mg tablet daily.
