Four years ago lost taste and smell around the time had PRK lasix eye surgery but also was stopping long term biaxin xl for chronic lynes disease. Today I hear of someone else same thing happened to after antibiotics. Ever hear of this before? Thanks Phillipa

Yes, but I don't know of any substance that produces such effects selectively, reliably and reproducibly in a high percentage of subjects. Visual field loss may be more common - it happens in 1/3 of patients treated with the anticonvulsant vigabatrin according to one source.

Blurred vision? Is usually caused by dryness or refractive errors for me. Sometimes dust and debris contribute. I don't if stress is a factor.

I wonder if the pollen is contributing? or the sunglasses wearing outside? Phillipa
