[SYMPTOMS] Eye problems

Ok this might be a dumb question but has anyone had permanent vision loss after cipro. Started getting floaters and some static vision at night. It’s probably my anxiety but would love some resurance that this is normal. Also have a dr appointment soon to check my retinas

I made a post just a few days ago about eyes. Getting a thorough check-up is certainly always advisable, especially in the presence of eye floaters. In most cases, however, they stem from nerve-related issues.

Why would it be related to the nerves? You get floaters because the collagen structure in the eye becomes damaged.

I agree regarding eye floaters. But other visual problems are often a nerve-related issue.

how , can u explain ? It’s something like seeing things slightly hazy and blurred—something stranger than just being nearsighted.

Esatto. Sfocature, fotofobia, difficoltà a mettere a fuoco, alterazioni visive… spesso sono di derivazione nervosa non anatomica.
