Eye problems with antibiotic treatment for MAC?
My husband just started the three-antibiotics therapy for MAC. One of the potential side effects is problems with vision and the eye, especially for people who have pre-existing eye problens. Has anyone experienced that? Do you go to the ophthalmologist regularly during therapy?
Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.
I also started having pulsing vision disturbances in the upper left area of my left eye. My infectious disease doctor said it was definitely from the Ethambutol and my eye doctor said it wasn't. I was taken off the Ethambutol and my vision did come back slowly after about two months.
I am looking for anyone who have experienced "second cataracts" a couple of years after the original cataracts removed. The doctor wants to use laser to deal with them but I am concerned because I have already had a detached retina repair done on one eye after laser was used to reduce pressure as I also have suspect glaucoma.
