Has anyone suffered from blurred vision after taking Lyrica?

I recently tried a second attempt at Lyrica and after only 2 X 50mg capsules taken 6 hours apart I woke up the following morning with quite severe blurred vision in my right eye and a small amount in the left one.

The official Lyrica website lists blurred vision as the second most likely side effect after dizziness with weight gain as the third. It also says contact the doctor straight away. When I told my GP he said stop taking it. He seemed to think I might permanently damage my eyesight.

I am just interested in any similar experiences.

Thanks
Tony
