Hey All,
Been taking opiates for a few years now as part of my pain management plan.
I tapered off daily use on 4th July and went an entire month (felt like a year!) without touching any opiates. I had pretty shitty withdrawals for a week but my taper was slow and planned so it wasn't all that bad. However, since coming off opiates, my eyesight has been awful and I've had to wear glasses every day.
However, my back's seized up a little so I've been taking Oxycodone PRN and I've noticed that as soon as it kicks in, my vision squares up and I don't have to wear my glasses anymore. I assumed it was coincidence at first but now, whenever I take opiates, my vision comes back within an hour or so.
As said, I went a month clean and my vision didn't improve over that time and I had to wear my glasses daily. So I'm just wondering what's up? Will I ever get my natural vision back if I completely abstain from opiates for X months? I feel that 1 month was quite a substantial time to not take any, and the fact that it didn't seem to have any positive effect on my vision makes me a tad worried for my future.
