Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Intuniv-ER is a is a prescription medicine used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children who are at least 6 years old.Even though blurred vision has been described among its side efffects, this effect is expected to go away progressively when you go off the drug.Your son's symptoms may be caused by an underlying eye problem that was yet to manifest.I will suggest you see an Ophthalmologist for examination.
Hope this will help
Best regards
