Ethambutol can cause color blindness issues in 5% of patients. Once stopped, the color is usually restored.
I was on Ethambutol plus the others for 40 months with regular eye exams and had no issues.
Vision issues from the other drugs are very rare.

Thanks, Rick! That makes me feel better it is reversible. I was worried I would have permanent eye issues if I experienced them while on the drug.

Wow, Rick, 40 months! Was it how long it took for you to get rid of MAC?
