What Causes Visual Problems Inspite Of Having Viagra?

Posted on Fri, 13 Feb 2015

Question: My husband has taken Viagra, he says he has had visual problems. However we have not been able to make love for nearly 3 years now. I found a prescription packet empty, four tablets had been used. He told me he tried them at different times to see how his vision reacted. Should I believe him? I don't know what to do as our love life was brilliant till it came to a stop 3 years ago. Could he be lying? We are married nearly 44 years, he is 62 years old. thank you. XXXXXX
