Vision change?

I feel like in the past week I've had vision degradation, is this related to finasteride (which I've been on for around 2 weeks)? I don't think I'm imagining the change in vision either.. my eyesight isn't that great to begin with though.

First time i would have ever heard of this as a side effect. Maybe you just need glasses. Try an optician.

Wow, its wild you would mention this because I was concerned about my own vision. Indeed my vision had degraded while I was on finasteride. I have been off finasteride now for four weeks and my eye site is improving. Quicker focus ect... I was on finasteride for a year and my eye site was poor. Perhaps its just the magnesium I'm taking.

Being on finasteride while your vision degrades doesn't mean finasteride is causing your vision changes. If you get diarrhea while on finasteride, doesn't mean finasteride caused it.

I have glasses but I only wear them when I need to. I'm going to contact a doctor soon.
