@amn17 Good morning. I am sorry to hear of your vision issues. Did you have a baseline vision test before gping on the 3 antibiotics? Some people do experience vision problems on one of those meds. If you haven't done so already; call your dr and report it asap. Do not suddenly stop your meds, your dr will want to switch it out. You then need another vision test to check it against the baseline. Please keep me posted on that.

@windwalker when I was taking ethambutol I started having a bright light in my left eye. It was pretty scary and it obstructed my vision. It took several months after I was taken off the medicine for my vision to come back. My doctor took me off the ethambutol because he felt it was the cause of my vision problem. My eye doctor didn't think so but she couldn't really find a cause.
