I have heard of some psychiatric (including antipsychotic, antidepressant and antiseizure) medications causing eye side effects such as oculogyric crisis, nystagmus, diplopia and even loss of color vision. Some can be permanent.
We do have a family member with some permanent vision impairment presumably from a simple antidepressant.
Other vision changes have been temporary.
I do hope you and the doctors report this to the FDA via their MedWatch program. Our family member's vision problem was added to the list of possible side-effects for that antidepressant.
