I have just been switched from lisinopril to Amlodipine and in 2 days had several aura in my eyes episodes. Has anyone experienced this?

First I would find out if this could be a rare side effect from this medication and make an appointment to see your GP or Optometrist to see what else may be causing this. We need to look after our eyes.

Migraine with aura is a chemical imbalance in the brain, so seeing a Optometrist will achieve nothing because the aura is due to the brain and not directly the eyes, 👀

Cardiologist switched me to Valsartin. Stopped the auras immediately.

You need to let them know. This a known side effect.

Thank you. I did contact Dr. he put me back in lisinopril

Glad you did. You don't want it affecting your eyes. Hope your eyes settle soon now.
