Do methotrexate cause blindness in a long run? i'm starting to see blur text from long distance.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Methotrexate: Visual side effects can occur while using methotrexate. You should notify your doctor and he will determine the significance and what is necessary to do, if anything. Blindness would be extremely rare.
