    Ocular Side Effects of Viagra

    Viagra sparks boom in eye exams

    Recent reports of Viagra causing blindness is resulting in increased bookings for eye exams. Many practitioners are reporting that they are out straight with new exams. Keeping up with patient requests for dialated fundus exams is getting harder and harder. Many practices are having to erect new facilities.

    These disturbing side effects are even finding their way into the dispensary where there is an increased demand for stiffer frames. Many men are also upgrading to wooden frames.

    Well, if these reports about using viagra and going blind are true, perhaps that old adage, love is blind may have some meaning after all.

    I think the stat. is 48 reported cases out of approximately 23 million users worldwide. More media paranoia.

    The men that need to worry are the ones who "self pleasure" themselves on it. Instantaneous blindness, just like mom always said. ;)

    Viagra might not be good for two of your ;) :bbg: eyes. But it works wonders on your 'third' eye.

    Should women really post? Are you really going to admit you use this drug? Can we check your optic discs with our ophthalmoscopes?

    Just wondering in PA.
