What Causes Blurred And Distorted Vision While On Gabapentin?

Hello I was at the store when my eyes started to get black on the side s,jumping vision and feelings of being crossed eyed. Iam on Gabapentin and I do drink some of the time. But I have been having crossed double vision for a while. Even if I am not or have not drank. I ve been sleeping for awhile and I still am not seeing right. What do you think it is. Normally I have a lower reading of 120S/70S

Hello,

I want to know first why are you taking gabapentin? and if you already have diabetes or hypertension. I need to know about your smoking status and how often do you drink. Is it the first episode you have experienced or before as well.

It could be due to a number of reasons like atherosclerosis, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and local eye pathology. I want you to visit your doctor for some tests to look for the cause and get treated accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
