When I drink alot of alcohol I get temporary eye problems, like objects spinning and trouble focusing. I don't think there is a whole to this eye thing to Viagra. It sounds like a temporary side effect without long term problems. My question is, "Is it the Viagra, or is it the over exertion of the patients engaging in the "Act" that causes temporary vision problems?" I think some of these guys have gone so long without, they are wearing themselves out!

Dr. Ian Osterloh, a researcher for the drug's developer, Pfizer Inc. (PFE), seemed perplexed by Marmor's comments about the changes in retinal function. "I suspect there must be a misunderstanding," he said today. "The drug has been studied extensively. We have done more studies than have been reported." Great! I expected that Pfizer had done studies that indicate the blue tinge is not a serious problem. Once Pfizer provides more details about these studies, the stock should go back up. Richard

Is Love Really Blind With Viagra? Ophthalmologists warn that high doses can make your brown eyes blue. No, popping Viagra won't grow hair on your palms. But your childhood priest may have been right about another sex-related ailment. The American Academy of Ophthalmology says that the wildly popular potency pill may cause "retinal dysfunction and affect the way we see for a number of hours" -- including giving the world a "bluish tinge," spokesman Dr. Michael F. Marmor said in a statement Monday. That actually sounds rather romantic. But Dr. Ian Osterloh, a researcher for the drug's developer, Pfizer Inc., assured the newly virile Tuesday that their sex was still safe. "I suspect there must be a misunderstanding," he said Tuesday. "The drug has been studied extensively." As they say in the pharmacology game, actual results may vary -- and a little blindness in the bedroom never hurts when the lights are already out. Just make sure you know who's in there with you.
