Viagra Blue Vision

I took my first 100 mg Viagra tablet yesterday and experienced the "blue vision" side effect. I am supposed to take one tablet every other day for the first month. I thought that I would call my doctor tomorrow to make sure that I should continue as prescribed.

Has anyone else experienced the "blue vision". If so, does it get better over time, or should I just expect to have to deal with it? I read somewhere online that 11% of men taking 100mg experience the blue vision.

Thanks for your help.

I haven't experienced it, but this seems to be a common and harmless side effect.  The only effect I feel is the flush face feeling, and once an elevated blood pressure for a couple hours.

    The first few times I used a 100mg I did get a headache.  But now I do not seem to.  I still take a 50mg (a100mg pill cut in half) every other day.  I use the alldaychemest generic and they do not seem to cut into quarters too easy that is why I take a 50mg.

    I would still check with your Dr.

    Feb.20th Cystoscope and 2nd Post Op PSA. Another 0.00.....:)

    Dr. said everything looks fine.  Continue to work Kegeal's. Leaking appears to have improved  after Cystoscope?!?!?!  Down to 3-4 pads per day!

    March 1st  Leaking has crept back up to 6 - 8 pads a day ??????? 

    March 29th Collagen injection into sphincter / bladder neck area to control excessive leaking.  Worked for a couple of days then back to leaking.

    April 17th (Six Months Post Op) 2nd Collagen Injection to control excessive leaking.  Leaking started back next day at work!

    May 14th Second Opinion about my leaking and Options at OU Medical Center.  After reviewing my records the Dr. feels I will probably need some surgical intervention to stop my leaking.  But did agree to try Bio-Feedback and work hard on the Kegeal's first!

    May 30th Follow up with my Dr. and 3rd Post Op PSA 0.00 agian!!!

    June 1st Start Bio-Feedback to try to control my leaking.
