Does Amiodarone Cause Blurred Vision?

My husband is on Flecainide 100 mg BID and is experiencing some blurred vision. He was taking Amiodarone for two months back in January for Afib which I see can also cause blurred vision. What is your opinion? We have been told the Amiodarone stays in the system a while, so not sure which drug is causing the blurred vision.
