Not expected to.: You may mean one of two things: your skin burns more easily in the sun or your eyes are more sensitive to light. Either way, neither one is a common side effect of Zoloft. If you are experiencing visual changes light sensitivity, blurred vision, or sight loss, it’s a good idea to loop your doctor in. These may be signs of another condition requiring treatment.
