Recently I've observed a drastic decrease of my eye-sight. I'm wondering if there is some causal relationship with the use of ritaline. It's very likely that my eyes got worse by a natural aging, but the drastic decrease of eye-sight in such a short period (and the use of ritaline last month) make me suspicious.
I'm not a regular user of ritaline and use it mainly for work-purposes. I don't use it longer than 30 days without a break for some weeks. The dose taken per day is 10-15mg (1 or 1.5 tablet) taken in doses of 5mg with a separation of 2-3 hours. I've stopped taking ritaline for 10 days now.
I would be pleased if someone is more knowledgeable about this. Preferably, it would be great if someone was able to find a scientific study or something, since this side-effect is extremely subjective and I don't want to draw the wrong conclusion. Most internet-sources only list temporarily side-effects (i.e. while under influence) but nothing about long-term effects (when not under influence). The answer to the question is probably similar for other amphetamine-like substances, so maybe somebody knows something about that.
Anyways, I would find it very unlikely that such low doses of ritaline would alter my brain chemistry permanently.
