Guide To The Side Effects Of Naproxen

Blurry Vision

Blurry vision is a relatively uncommon side effect of naproxen. Patients with this symptom will normally notice vision changes in both eyes. Objects could appear hazy, and the patient might see halos of light when looking at street lights or lamps. Some patients have reported temporary vision loss with naproxen use. Since vision changes could be indicative of serious health issues, patients should see their healthcare provider and an eye doctor for examinations. The healthcare provider may want to check the patient for conditions like diabetes, and the eye doctor will perform a complete exam to check the patient's visual acuity, retinal health, and eye muscle health. Patients should let their healthcare providers know they have been taking naproxen, and they may need to attend follow-up appointments to monitor their vision. Most patients find their vision returns to normal once naproxen is discontinued.
