Did anyone notice any changes in their eyesight when on bcps?

I couldn't wear the contacts I had been using after starting BCP. I has to change to a type of contact that is moisturizing.

When I was on yasmin, my eyes dried out and my vision changed back and forth so badly my eye doctor couldn't write a prescription for me. I read the info that comes with the pills, and it said if anything like that happens, you need to see your doctor ASAP. Something about changing of the blood vessels in your eyes. All my doctors wanted me to get off yasmin because I was having several issues (not just with my eyes) that pointed to issues that could lead to a stroke.

I did have to give up my contacts until my hormones became my stable. I just started seeing a new eye doctor, and while I'm not on any bcp (obviously), he said my new prescription isn't too far off from my old glasses, so I hope that means everything is okay. My eyes were still dry, so he plugged up one of the holes in my tear ducts, and my eyes don't seem as dry anymore. I haven't gotten my new glasses and contacts yet, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything will be okay.

I think that my eyesight has got worse since i went on yasmin. My distance vision has got worse from what i can tell. The sam thing happened to my friend, who went from having almost 20/20 vision to needing glasses for pretty much everything.

I do not know if it is the BCP but my eye sight has gotten worst! I never thought about BCP being the colprit (sp?) behind my loss of vision, but after reading this post I will have to look into it. Prior to starting BCP I had 20/20 vision over the summer I had to go and get glasses because everything became so blurry.
