Question : My husband has taken Viagra, he says he has had visual problems. However we have not been able to make love for nearly 3 years now. I found a prescription packet empty, four tablets had been used. He told me he tried them at different times to see how his vision reacted. Should I believe him? I don't know what to do as our love life was brilliant till it came to a stop 3 years ago. Could he be lying? We are married nearly 44 years, he is 62 years old. thank you. XXXXXX

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:

1. Yes, Viagra is known to affect vision.
2. It can cause blurring of vision and also affect color vision, but temporarily.
3. If he has used 4 tablets in 3 years, it could only be a vision trials, rather than otherwise.

Hope it helps.
