Hello Elaine, good to hear from you! It is good for new people to hear that your body DID adjust to the antibiotics .. it gives them hope! For me the Ethambutol vision change was caught EARLY luckily .. so it was not a "dramatic change" in my opinion. But I guess I didn't actually ask the Ophthalmologist that particular question .. for me it was checking my vision against my husband's as we were driving .. noting that he could accurately read road signs before I could. The color vision change knowledge came when the Ophthalmologist checked my color vision .. I don't think I actually was aware of it prior to that. That is why I would tell people to be very aware .. because for me it was not "dramatic" .. yet it took me a year to fully regain my distance and color vision.

Don't be concerned about a "false sense of security" of it coming back. I have been "stable" since May 2014 .. just had my most recent check up last week! NO ONE knows what the future holds .. all we have control of is to take good care of ourselves .. be happy and live our lives as fully as we can! SO glad you are doing well .. put a big smile on my face! Keep us posted! Sending you a hug! Katherine
