π Can Medications Affect Your Vision?
Did you know that some commonly used medicines can impact your eyesight? Here are a few that may cause vision-related side effects:

Long-term use may lead to dry eyes, blurred vision, and difficulty focusing.
π 2. Antihistamines & Antidepressants
These medications can cause dryness, blurred vision, and eye strain.
π 3. Isotretinoin (for acne)
May cause dry eyes, increased light sensitivity, and reduced night vision.
π 4. Chloroquine & Hydroxychloroquine
Used for arthritis or lupus, but long-term use may damage the retina.

Can cause sudden blurred vision or, in rare cases, lead to glaucoma.
