Minoxidil affecting eye sight? Side effect?

[James C]

Ever since I started Minoxidil my eyesight has gotten worse. Could this be caused by Minoxidil? Any studies connecting it?

I have seen several threads causing this. Do you have double vision?

No. I think I have some type of visual snow and floaters.

Idk if it's due to minoxidil but I would see an ophthalmologist just in case. I was diagnosed with a possibly blinding condition and I had no idea. Thank got treated it early

I have seen an ophthalmologist. He’s said my eyes look normal. That’s why I’m assuming it’s minoxidil that’s causing it.

Did they scan your eyes as well?

I’m not sure what you mean by scanned. The procedure the doctor did was look into my eyes multiple times with different lights and equipment and told me to move my eyes in certain directions. I don’t know if he scanned anything.

There is this device that emits laser through your eye to create a map of the surface

Nope, I don’t think he did that.
