Hello,
I'm a 56 physically active, healthy male. I excercise regularly. I have no history of heart disease, blood pressure problems, diabetes, or anything else that may have caused me to lose my vision in my left eye. One night, I took a 10mg Cialis, and awoke the next moring with 40% eye loss in the left eye. That was back in December 2011. A month later, I have regained about 1/2 of the loss vision. After several doctor visits to a neuro ophthamologist, a retina doctor, an eye doctor, and my GP, it's been diagnosed as ION (ischemic optic neuropathy - or optic eye stroke). No one has discounted this may or may not have been caused by the Cialis, but I have no history of eye problems, health issues or blood pressure abnormalities. After reading the Cialis brochure, my vision loss is spelled out as a side effect for using the drug. It even talks about a condition known as a 'disk at risk' or 'crowded disk' which is at the back of the eye where the optic nerve meets the eye ball. I found out I have that condition and those who have that kind of disk run the risk of vision loss with using Cialis. FELLOW CIALIS AND VIAGRA USERS, ASK YOUR PHYSICIAN TO EXPLAIN THIS CONDITION TO YOU! If you have your doubts whether you have it or not, a visit to a neuro-ophthamologist will confirm it by taking a HD picture of the inside of your eye.
In my opionion these ED drugs are dangerous. You're just playing Russian roullete with your long term vision, hearing and general health wellness.
If you have any questions about any of this please respond to my thread.
