Read about the med: Be sure to read the possible side effects of the medication; should have come with the med when you picked it up. Ask your pharmacist for a copy if you do not have them. Consider seeing an ophthalmologist (an M.D.) for an eye exam regularly. Always tell the prescribing doctor if you're having undesired side effects from a med. Oftentimes, a different one can be prescribed. Hope this helps.

Yes: And when it does it can be considerable. However, it should only effect cose-up reading, not distance reading. If it is something on the blackboard, then you will likely need to get your prescription changed and the timing was coincidental.If it is a problem when reading a book, then it is more likely due to the medication. Best wises.
