In reply to anybody ever experience this vision phenomena?, posted by nickguy on August 31, 2006, at 18:32:43
While on Lexapro I had visual concerns. Little black floaters (like your little dots?) were bothersome. They went away when I stopped the Lexapro. That is when I made the connection. I found this info on the 'net: When should someone see a doctor about floaters?
If floaters become worse, they need to be evaluated to make sure the floaters do not indicate the possibility of retinal damage. If a patient sees a sudden change in the nature of their floaters, and particularly if they notice flashing lights or missing vision in their peripheral vision, they should see a doctor.I do see an ophthalmologist regularly but have not had "floaters" or dark spots since I stopped Lexapro. It would be wise to mention this to your eye doctor. Jane
> A lot of the time my vision seems like one of those televisions on a station that doesn't get a signal (it's not always bothersome, and doesn't really effect me, it's just strange) I also sometimes see little dots, that seem to be on the surface of my eye but I can't tell. They float around and seem to somewhat follow the movement of my eye. (these are also not always bothersome, but sometimes can increase in numbers greatly for short periods ( 15 seconds) of time and I have to wait it out, it's very strange) I also see trails from lights at night when I'm in a dark space. Has anybody ever experience and/or know anyhting about this?
