Sildenafil or commonly called drug Viagra has been widely
used to treat erectile Dysfunction
like premature ejaculation and deficient erection. Some use it just like any
other common medicine.
Very few people may be aware of the fact that Viagra can
cause side effects as well and one of them is visual disturbance.
A new Research done suggests that long term use or higher
doses of Viagra can hinder the enzyme activity responsible for transmission of
light signals to the Brain from Retina of eyes. This reaction can cause blurred
vision, reduced color vision and dark light sensitivity
Nevertheless this isn’t a common phenomenon. These visual
changes are found in only those people who carry a mutant gene of the disease Retinitis Pigmentosa
But it is definitely
wise to keep in mind the side effects of this drug and then only use it and not
to make a habit of the same.
Prevent, protect and
open your eyes wide…..
‘’World sight day’’
brings in awareness of all the ways to keep your eyes protective from any major
harm.
