@sma2 I just see an optometrist once a year for an eye exam and new glasses if needed. I weigh 86 kilograms so that would be about 18 milligrams per kilogram.

That is a rather high dose of ethambutol. Ethambutol can cause vision loss and you need to see an ophthalmologist at least every 1-3 months. I researched this after becoming legally blind due to ethambutol. Vision loss is rare, but can be permanent and devastating.If you give me your email, I’ll send you a copy of my research.
