Hi, so sorry to hear all you're going through..I was on the triple drug combo for over 2 years...at the end I was losing my vision. It started with blurriness and progressed to pulsating blind spots. I could watch a bird in flight..see it...lose it..and see it again. That sort of thing. Regular eye Dr. checked optic nerve...said everything looks normal..was not normal!! I stopped taking the drugs.. Went to another eye Dr. at UAB Eye Hospital..she at least listened to me and sent me to a Neuro-Ophthalmologist. After more testing that could not SHOW that is was due to the drug...she told me it was most likely the drug. That was enough for me. Bottom line...these are harsh drugs and hard to take for long periods. You have to be the one to say I cant take these anymore!!!! Thankfully my vision has come back to generally what a 67 yr. old woman would have...so we're OK..
