Hello . Thanks for writing to HCM.
I read and understand your question very well.
I try my level best to explain you.
As Vancomycin have most common side effect is nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. Loss of vision and stoke are not very common with this drug.
Stroke and loss of vision is due to some other reason.
So consult your good physician .
I hope my advice will help you a lot.
Thanks and Regards.
