Vision Impairment

Being able to see clearly is one of the most important abilities for our daily lives. Most of us use our vision everyday to help us navigate our surroundings, drive, complete our work at the office or at school, play sports, read, and more. When an individual's vision becomes impaired, he or she likely feels suddenly dependent on others for help. Even a small change in vision can hinder a person's daily life to the point that it can hurt them personally and professionally. Sadly, vision impairment has been reported as one of the many side-effects of the anti-smoking drug, Chantix.

Chantix is intended to help smokers rid themselves of their addiction to nicotine. While it has helped some people with their smoking addiction, it has also had many unanticipated and severe side-effects. Some people who take Chantix have reported problems with depression, suicidal thoughts, nausea, headaches, and vision impairment. These side-effects can be especially serious if they occur while a person is driving, operating heavy machinery, or is otherwise involved in a task that requires intense focus.

With a sudden onset of vision impairment, a patient may be involved in a car crash, a workplace accident, or other sudden accident. He or she may also experience more long-term problems, such as trouble focusing at work or at school. The vision impairment may become so problematic that the individual receives a poor performance review at work or school because he or she cannot adequately complete assignments.

Regardless of the outcome, anyone experiencing vision problems from a medication is suffering from a negative side-effect and likely has the right to pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, emotional distress, and pain and suffering.
