Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. Elavil may cause some mild eye disorders such as blurred vision but vision loss is not reported side effect and this is not likely the cause of it. So he should find another cause which may be high eye pressure , diabetic ophtalmopathy or some optic nerve issue.
Hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us anytime.
Wish you good health.
Kind regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
