Hi

I'm Male, aged 35, 5' 10" and 75 kg and been using Propecia (original) along with 5% Regaine (Rogaine) for just over a year and definitely seeing results on the back of my head. The problem is over the last year or so the sight in my right eye has been worsening (and still is) and its now -3 dioptres. Of course, it could be a sheer coincidence but just wondering could this be a side effect of taking Propecia and/or Regaine? I also had Laser eye surgery to correct my vision in both eyes around 12 years ago but the vision has been fine until 1 year ago...the same time i started taking hair loss treatment. My optician and GP don't know much about Finasteride so couldn't tell me much. I'm thinking of stopping Finasteride for 1-2 months to see if my eyesight stops deteriorating. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks :)
