Hi Allison,
Regarding your eye. I did lupron and my eye sight changed, it's hard to
explain i had better then 20/20 vision before, now i can see to a
certain point, it goes all fuzzy and blurry, but then i can see past
that and see again and it's not blurry. i know that sounds totally
screwed up, it's hard to explain but that is whats happened... so just
know your not alone, and there still trying to figure out my eyes... but
allison i still believe taking lupron was the right thing to do.
