Can Doxycycline Hyclate Be Taken Safely By Someone With Blepharitis?

yes my eye doctor just gave me doxycycline hyclate 50 mg capsules for his diagnosis of Blepharitis in both eyes. i am a little concerned with possible side effects. the one i am moist concerned with is the possibility of losing eyesight if you develope IH. That is a pressure in the head problem. i have not really had any complications with any prescription drug before but that one is scary. this does seem to be a low dose but still concerned. i am soppose to take two capsules per day. what do you think?
