Metformin/blurred vision?!


Question: When my doctor prescribed Metformin to me fe for insulin resistance he noted that I may experience blurred vision or become temporarily farsighted (I am nearsighted and wear glasses) as the drug began to interact with my blood sugar, bringing the levels down. I neglected to hear how long this would be an issu.

The first week I took 500mg in the morning and at night, I didnot have any vision issues. The eighth day I begain taking 1000 mg both morning and night, and the next day the vsion issues started. This is my second week on the drug.I have an appointment coming up, but in the mean time..does anyone know how long this vision thing might be an issue?

Thanks.

When my husband was started on Metaformin, he was told the vision changes would not stabalize until his blood sugar was stabilized and the correct dosage of metaformin was established. I guess this time frame would be different with each individual.

I was taking 3 meds (including metformin) for numerous months experienced blurred vision , optometrist diagnosed me with constricted blood vessels , around my eyes, when my sugars are elevated , now I am on insulin and high sugars are no longer an issue please see an edocronlogist soon they are the only ones worth a hill of beans when it comes to diabetes and good luck.

the diabetic microvascular comlication as vision problem start as early as five years that you know you have it so review your doc it is not metformin
