Although a common factor in both instances is Effexor XR, so is something that has a stronger influence on eyesight - Heridity.
My time on Effexor was short, but while adjusting to the meds I did notice that it was harder to get focus on things. My eyes would cross and stuff and focus would be genuinely harder to obtain, but only for the first couple of days after changing a dosage.
My initial response would be "No, Effexor didn't cause it.", but Effexor //could have// acted as a catalyst, since it causes a minor problem with focus. And I use the words "could have" very loosely.
If anything, though, genes are probably to blame for this coincidence.
