Spiriva and blurry vision when wearing contact lenses

Hi, I've been taking spiriva for several weeks now with good results. However, I have noticed my vision is blurred when I'm wearing my contact lenses. Anyone else have this? What should I do? I have a contact lense check at the opticians next week. Any solutions?

Hi, I've been on Spiriva for a year and a half. I haven't noticed any vision disturbances at all, but I don't use contact lenses, so I don't know if that makes any difference. Using glasses (for reading) hasn't caused problems. X

I'm on spiriva but haven't noticed any worsening of my vision. Probably good that you have an appointment to have it checked out.

Hello, I don't take Spiriva, just Symbicort and Ventolin, but when I am having a "bad patch" my vision is badly impacted and it takes ages to go back to normal - maybe your body is adjusting to the new medication?. Perhaps call your GP next week and tell them about the problem and definitely keep your optician appointment. I really hope you get it sorted soon. Rx
