Curious what you mean visual problems? If you didn't take the medication would you still have the issues or is it only when you take the medication?

Yes, I had slight double vision. My optician checked my eyes and also suspected Glaucoma. No family history etc. Hospital did not find this however I now have Drusion and believe this is a result from Topiramate. Eye problems are listed in side effects unfortunately but are however rare.

Yes. Double vision, blurry vision and seeing trails. I stopped taking topiramate nearly three years ago and my vision hasn’t completely returned to normal. I also couldn’t drive at night because I couldn’t handle street lights and traffic lights were blinding (couldn’t see other objects around me). This symptom did eventually go away, and I am able to drive at night again, but it took quite a while.
