... hemorrhage. It is clearing slowly, but my specialist can not understand why my vision is still poor in that eye. He is not ready to report as a SE of Lyrica, but states hemorrhages can just happen, but he can not explain the change in vision
Has anyone experienced eye problems while taking Lyrica? 5 days after stopping Lyrica, I had an eye?

I had blurry vision while taking Lyrica. I would often have a sharp pain in one eye too. I loved reading novels but ended up having to quit reading. It was scary. I’m completely off Lyrica and my eyesight has come back and I have no more pain in my eye. I am reading again and loving it. I am so relieved that it wasn’t permanent. I had the same problems with Cymbalta. I had many horrible side effects from these medications. Take care everyone and beware of the side effects.
My PCP, also, increased Cymbalta and noticed vision problems. Every doctors says Lyrica and Cymbalta can’t be the cause but it seems to be getting worse. As well as confusion and unsteady balance.
Are you taking any these for neuropathy in your legs and feet?
I'm taking 1800mg of Lyrica daily and my eyes have become so bad I can't see the letters on a newspaper where before I could read a paper in the dark.. but I have attributed it to getting older, but I'm starting to get a little more concerned the more I look into it
I had blurred vision with lyrica, that is one of the reasons I stopped it. I had corneal hemorrhages when I was on it and haven't had any since but they can happen just for the heck of it, and I didn't think anything of it at the time.
