VIAGRA BLINDNESS HEALTH ALERT

MAY 27th, 2005. FDA Reports 50 cases of blindness stemming from Viagra use. Similar drugs, such as Cialis and Levitra may also be at risk. Currently the FDA is investigating this matter: "We're very concerned. This issue is front and center. It's a priority. We know people need to know as promptly as possible," and FDA official is quoted as saying. the official said.

Case Background

FDA Reports 50 cases of blindness stemming from Viagra use. NAION (a stroke of the eye) occurs when small arteries in the eye do not get enough blood, causing a spontaneous stroke in the optic nerve.

Visual effects can range from a loss of a portion of the visual field to total blindness. The condition is called NAION, which affects 1 to 10 out of 100,000 people. Those considered to be at risk are patients with existing blood vessel problems, like diabetes or hypertension. It usually occurs during the night when blood pressure is naturally lower. About 10 percent to 20 percent of people who get NAION in one eye will later get it in the other eye. Vision may spontaneously improve in about 40 percent of cases, but virtually never returns to normal. There is no treatment.

People with abnormally sized optic nerve portions, may be predisposed to the NAION.

Viagra has been used by 23 million users, so there is no reason for Viagra users to panic, but Viagra users with diabetes may be an increased risk.

Health Risks & Symptoms

Nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), a condition that can cause permanent loss of vision. Viagra victims develop symptoms of blurred vision and vision loss from 24 to 36 hours after using the erection drug. Researchers believe that heart disease risk factors are strongly correlated to developing NAION.
