Brief Answer:
it may cause vision problems

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

sertraline may frequently (1% to 10%) cause vision problems. A fairly common problem is that you may be less able to focus on objects accurately with this drug. Stopping it will correct your vision regarding the focusing problems.

I hope it helps!
Kind Regards!
