The SSRI's, especially Paxil, can cause blurry vision in some people. It comes from causing dryness in the eyes. Here is an excerpt from an article:
"Paxil in also unusual in that it has significant "anticholinergic" properties. This means that, unlike the other SSRI's, it tends to block the action of the neurotransmitter acetyl choline. This can result in a few of the side effects seen with the tricyclic antidepressants, including dry mouth, dry eyes, or blurry vision. Again, this effect is very weak compaired to the tricyclic antidepressants, and these side effects are seldom problematic."
Based on your post, I would say that you definitely need to continue taking an antidepressant of some kind.
