Yes Important read .: Visual disturbance: difficulty in accommodation and blurred vision has been reported with the use of stimulants. Amphetamines may impair the ability to engage in potentially hazardous activities. Potential for drug dependency exists; prolonged use may lead to drug dependency.

Not common but: It can happen. To confirm cause, if not already done so, talk with prescriber about conducting a trial without Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) for a few days (like sat/sun) as each morning the previous day's dose should have cleared. If not tolerable prescriber may consider alternative med for you, such as methylphenidate or atomoxetine. If Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) not causative, consider optometrist. Best regards for relief.
