I was wondering if anyone here knows if vicodin can affect the eyes? Ive tried looking for articles and I cant find anything. Plus, I cant stay on the computer too long to really look. Any ideas? Im just wondering if some of the eye pain could be coming from the vicodin.
I see the opthalmoligst again on Wednesday. I had prisms put in my glasses but they don't help all that much. They do a bit but I think there need to be other changes. My eyes still hurt,blurred and pins and needle feelings in my eyes. Grrrr!!!

I also wanted to mention I only take the vicodin at bedtime but I have been on it for a few months now.

I'm not a expert on vicodin and it causing vision problems. Can't answer that question. Sorry.
But I am an old pro at lyme & company causing vision changes and problems with the eyes.

I used to work with people that were visually impaired nad I've never heard of Vicodin being a factor into their blindness/vision disorder. Long term cyclines can be bad however I heard from a coworker that had researched it since she know I was on Doxycycline she let me know. I take Vicodin and think the problems I have are from the Lyme more (pain around/behind eyes, photosensitivity, seeing 2d things as 3d or feeling like one eye is bashed into my face and the other normal).

I've been taking Vicodin for many years & I don't think it has caused any eye issues for me.
If anything, it's the Lyme...
