Can Prozac and Adderall cause blurry vision at near?

Hi my son is taking prozac and adderall and has been complaint of
blurry vision for awhile. i took him to an optometrist and he
refracted him with +0.50 each eye. he thinks my son's blurry vision
may be due to the medications and told me to consult with the
pediatrician. he gave a precription for reading only since my son sees
well for distance. any experience with blurry vision associated with
prozac and adderall. thanks

Ah yes it can I took Prozac 3 different times and one time with another
it brought my prescription from -7 D back to like - 5.25 D.
Kind of a wild experience.....if anyone is on psychtropic medication
and considering refractive surgery they must really be sure the meds aren't
affecting their refractive situation first.

 

Yes, both drugs affect autonomic receptors that affect eye focusing.
Increased nearsightedness would be expected. If this is recent, he may get
some improvement in time as his body adjusts to the medication.

The effect should be benign, but still talk to your doctor.

Thanks,

Mike
