Brief Answer:
not a known side effect

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is not a known side effect of zoloft so another cause should be ruled out.

The most common side effect of zoloft is nausea.

In terms of neurological side effects (double vision would be considered a neurological side effect), the most common are dizziness, headache, tremor, seizures, impaired concentration, increased muscle tone, abnormal sensation.

You may want to consider seeing an ophthalmologist or neurologist with regard to the blurred vision.
Assessment would include examination and possibly imaging depending on the findings.

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
