I just read that Claritin can be related to blurry vision. Can you elaborate?
Unlikely to be caused by claritin
Detailed Answer:
Hello
My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.
I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. Claritin is an antihistamine (loratidine). It is given for allergic symptoms. It is highly unlikely for claritin to cause blurry vision.
On the other hand Claritin-D which contains a combination of loratadine and pseudoephedrine may cause blurry vision because of presence of pseudoephedrine, which is a decongestant. If your ENT doctor prescribed you Claritin-D then you can discuss with him to change to Claritin only or some other antihistamine. If you are already taking Claritin and blurry vision occurred so there are chances that it occurred because of preexisting ocular histoplasmosis.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
