2.2.2h VISION PROBLEMS

Some hepatitis patients complain of blurring vision, and dry eyes. This can be especially true while undergoing interferon treatment. Interferon treatment can and does trigger retinal complications, such as hemorrhages, as well as vitreous detachments, cotton wool spots, cataracts and even strokes (infarcts). Be sure to get your eyes tested before beginning treatment. There are products to counteract dry eyes. If you are on treatment, use sunglasses outdoors.
