Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for writing to us.

Viagra contains sildenafil. Blurring of vision is a common side effect. It is reversible in most of the cases. In your case it is lasted long. I recommend check up by a doctor to see that your problem is not due to any ophthalmic or neurological reason.

Viagra is a prescription drug and you should take it after consulting local doctor. I recommend tadalafil (cialis) instead of Viagra.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further

Dr.Chintan Solanki.
