Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Starting about 3 weeks ago after working all day in front of a computer, my eyes feel odd and my eyelids blink frequently and is a little difficult to keep open. Sometimes it feels like there is extra fluid in them. I ve tried eye drops for dry eyes but that didn t seem to make a difference. They blink simultaneously. Anytime of the day when driving, the air conditioning air blowing seems to cause my eyes to want to blink. Four weeks ago I started on Methylphenidate 20mg twice day 4 hours apart. That says can cause blurry vision but that doesn t seem to be a symptom. I am having a reaction to this medication or is there something different going on?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Blurred vision is a known side effect of Methylphenidate. Patients with blurred vision should avoid using Methylphenidate. I suggest you to consult your doctor for an alternative medication.
