well before meds i always had perfect sight then years after i went on them i was told they where slightly changed, didnt need glasses but now what i used to be able to see properly like words on tv screen its just a big blurr now.
I blame the meds! tho i blame them for everything, do u think it could be them?
 
Absolutely! Lamictal has affected mine. Before I went on it I had perfect vision -- better than 20/20 -- because I had had laser surgery. When I went on it, my vision started to blur, and I now have the same issue as you do -- blurriness, particularly things like words on a screen or LED letters. It seems to be worse at different times of day, and I find myself squinting a lot. My reading vision is fine, so it's not related to aging.
 
im the same on lamotrigine, even though im on a fairly low dose. my vision was perfect before i went on it and now my vision differs day to day. one minute its fine and the next i cant read unless the writing is right up close to my face. hopefully it will be ok after i have stopped increasing it as i really dont want to be wearing glasses!
