I have written before about a similar
problem, and I cannot wait to ask my doc
next week I want to understand now if
possible.
I have been having headaches, but I have
figured that it has something to do with
my medication. I had an eye exam
yesterday and the doc said that I need
glasses, which is also causing headaches.
When people focus our eyes turn inward,
mine only turn in half way. If that
makes sence. The muscles in my eyes are
lazy and therefore I have eye strain and
headaches. I had a hard time seeing some
of the letters on the wall that they get
you to read off. I was mixing some up.
I didn't know my eyes were so bad.
But anyways, I was in the washroom earlier
getting ready for bed, and when I looked
in the mirror I noticed my right pupil is
more dilated than the left and it is
reacting to light slower. Does this have
something to do with my medications
(apo-propranolol, celexa, and ativan) or
my muscles in my eyes? I am worried. I
have been told that the eye doc would pick
up on anything neurological but I do not
understand why my eyes are doing this.
They never have before.
Any replies would be appreciated, so I can
relax.
Thank you

I have heard that meds of that nature can
affect your eye sight. My aunt, who is
on such drugs, has had to get new glasses
every year for three years so far and is
told it is only going to get worse. Also
hearing is related too. This might be
something to do with it but I would
suggest getting a second opinion, like a
reg doc rather than an eye doc.
Hope this helps some.

I hope that it is just the medication
causing these problems with my eyes. I
am not experiencing double-vision so that
is a plus. But my right eye that is
dialating is a little sensitive. It
dialated again today at work but as soon
as I went outside it went back to normal.
It doesn't make sense. I am going to
find out soon what is going on.
You know you're on medication to decrease
the anxiety but it gives you so many
different side effects that are strange in
their ways and you begin worrying and
stressing about that. A viscious circle
if you ask me.
Anyways that is another problem for
another time.
Thank you for your reply betsy. Greatly
appreciated.
