Does Naproxen Usage Cause Blurred Vision?
my daughter was on Naproxen for 3 weeks with little side effects until this past Monday she developed blurry vision, to the point where school work is impossible. We took her off Naproxen and she has seen a slight improvement over the past 4 days but still hasn't returned to normal. I had her evaluated by an optometrist to rule out any serious, urgent eye problems and he said her eyes look completely normal and really couldn't explain her lack of being able to see. If this is from the Naproxen, how long should we expect before her vision returns to 100%
