Vision Problems?

[LawMan018]

Okay, so I've been taking 100 mg of clomid and 20 mg of nolva ed for about two weeks... Now I usually take the pills around 7 o' clock and a few hours later I start to get mild vision impairment. For example, I'll turn my head but it seems like it takes me vision a couple seconds to get with the motion, kind of like slow motion movement I'm seeing... Last night it was really bad, I'm not sure if it's what I'm taking or the fact that I was really tired but these pills are affecting my vision...I mean, it's no problem now it just starts when I take them and next morning I'm all better! Any ideas what could cause this? I've never heard of this before and I don't wanna **** up my 20 20 vision!

That's a wierd side effect if I ever heard of one. It's probably the hormonal fluctuations thats are messing with your eyes...if the symptoms persist, try ceasing your PCT for a day to see if they are directly connected...if not, then go see an optician

I have read that temporary blurred vision can be one of the side effects.
Did you mean you are taking the pills at 7am or 7pm?
Some people take them late in the day to avoid the sides during the day.

I take them at 7 pm... and usually by 10 or 11 my vision is a little weird... I ran out of clomid and haven't had the problem for the past day so I'm gonna wait and see, perhaps its the nolva

Probly the clomid. Had the same problem especially if i had to wake up at 3 in the morning to catch an early flight. Here an exert from the drug monograph:

Visual Symptoms

Patients should be advised that blurring or other visual symptoms such as spots or flashes (scintillating scotomata) may occasionally occur during therapy with CLOMID. These visual symptoms increase in incidence with increasing total dose or therapy duration and generally disappear within a few days or weeks after CLOMID is discontinued. Patients should be warned that these visual symptoms may render such activities as driving a car or operating machinery more hazardous than usual, particularly under conditions of variable lighting.

These visual symptoms appear to be due to intensification and prolongation of afterimages. Symptoms often first appear or are accentuated with exposure to a brightly lit environment. While measured visual acuity usually has not been affected, a study patient taking 200 mg CLOMID daily developed visual blurring on the 7th day of treatment, which progressed to severe diminution of visual acuity by the 10th day. No other abnormality was found, and the visual acuity returned to normal on the 3rd day after treatment was stopped.

Ophthalmologically definable scotomata and retinal cell function (electroretinographic) changes have also been reported. A patient treated during clinical studies developed phosphenes and scotomata during prolonged CLOMID administration, which disappeared by the 32nd day after stopping therapy.

Postmarketing surveillance of adverse events has also revealed other visual signs and symptoms during CLOMID therapy (see ADVERSE REACTIONS).

While the etiology of these visual symptoms is not yet understood, patients with any visual symptoms should discontinue treatment and have a complete ophthalmological evaluation carried out promptly.

Hope this helps.
Tamox can also cause slight optic disc edema but not likely to be significant.
