From one Laura to another!
I have been on the usual 3 antibiotics for 2 1/2 months, with no obvious problems. But in considering getting cataract surgery, I did a bit of research on ethambutol and vision... and now I'm concerned. Seems it takes a while to develop, and the higher the dosage, the greater the risk. I'm taking 400mg daily, which seems high according to what I've read. I'm waiting to hear back from my doctor. Meanwhile, I'm very interested in your experience and I wonder as MJ does: what were your symptoms and when did they start?
Thanks so much and wishing you the best! LauraS1949

I didn't pass 2 field view test that my eye specialist gave me and she immediately took me off ethambutol. My ID dr concurred and after being off ethambutol for 4 months I was able to pass the test. I continue to see my eye Dr every 3 to 4 months. This doesn't happen to everyone but it is just why you should regularly see an eye specialist while on the big 3.
