20 Million Americans take Viagra or other male enhancement medications-that's a HUGE number! Unfortunately, it may increase the risk for some sight-threatening eye conditions, most of which happen suddenly and can result in permanent vision changes. It's important to know the risks of these conditions and consider if taking male enhancement medications may further increase your risk.
These medications go by the names:
Viagra (sildenafil)
Levitra (vardenafil)
Staxyn (vardenafil)
Cialis (tadalafil)
Stendra (avanafil)
More common/less serious side effects of male enhancement medications include: Blurry vision
Transient decreased vision
Change in color perception: usually bluish discoloration & impaired blue/green discrimination
Eye pain
Light sensitivity
Changes in light perception
But today, we are focusing on much more serious and vision threatening conditions that may be associated with use of these medications:
Serous Retinal Detachment
Retinal Vascular Occlusions
