To start or not to start the antibiotics?

I just started Ethambutol and Azithromycin. I get my eyes checked by my opthomologist every two months....I also use a book that tests problems with color vision, called, ISHIHARA'S TESTS FOR COLOUR DEFICIENCY CONCISE EDITION 2021 I ordered this on Amazon (I think).....SO I CAN TEST MY EYES DAILY. THE tests the opth does are more extensive. I was concerned about what the drug could do to sight, so this is what I worked out to be able to take it with peace of mind.

@healthybon that is VERY helpful, thank you for the book recommendation! My doc did say I would have to see an ophthalmologist regularly to make sure my vision is ok. I'm glad your sight is ok so far 🙂

How are you doing on those two meds Bonnie? Good girl!! I know it’s hard for you to take medication. ( Irene)
