Hello
Hydrochlorot is hydrochlorothiazide and it is commonly used to treat hypertension. It results in increase urinary output and may result in loss of calcium and potassium leading to muscle ache. This is responsible for muscle aches.
However the drug is not known to causes any side effect related to vision. Hence no need to worry. You can continue the drug as per your doctors advice.
Thank you
