the American Food and Drug Administration are investigating a link between Viagra and the increased risk of blindness, for people with diabetes ect..the condition known as Nonarteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy causes a rapid reduction in sight and can,lead to blindness. Dr Howard Pomeranz a co-author of a report on the condition published in the jounral Neuro-Ophathmology in April, said "the drug had long been linked to sight problems" Viagra was known to cause temporary colour changes in some men's vision he,said but NAION was a much more serious condition.However Dr Howard reassured men by advising them to have a simple test which would allow them to avoid the condition...He also stressed that patients were unwise to purchase Viagra over the internet..
