Members responded to a question about whether pulmonary hypertension affects vision, with the overwhelming consensus being that PH itself does not directly cause vision problems, though individual experiences varied widely. Several members identified specific PAH medications as culprits, particularly Tadalafil causing blurred vision that resolved when switched to Sildenafil or Uptravi affecting vision while being taken, while others attributed vision changes to reading fatigue, exhaustion, brain fog, diabetes, or unrelated medical conditions like tumors and cataracts. A recurring theme was the reminder that everyone's experience with PH is different, and members encouraged consulting with eye doctors or specialists for persistent vision concerns rather than self-diagnosing.

I don’t know either if it affects one’s vision. I do know I’ve noticed that my eyes get tired and blurry when I read for a long time .

I don’t know if PH affects vision but I find after I read for a while my vision becomes blurry. My PH is diagnosed as moderate. We are all different and one’s problem may not fit another.
