Hello, I’m using Rogain 5% and I’ve noticed some minor signs of blurred vision, mostly at farsighted objects.
Considering it may be a minox side effect, should I:
– Continue Rogaine 5% and wait weeks/few months because it it’s temporary (and not a really bad blurry vision) and will not damage my permanent vision.
– Change to Rogaine 2%
– Change To Rogaine Foam
– Quit using Rogaine?Thanks for your help and amazing blog
The purpose of this site is to educate, not to become a treatment substitute for your doctor. With that said, minoxidil is known to cause blurred vision. How you react to it is either to get medical advice from your doctor or experiment as you suggested above. As a doctor, I would want to know what you are treating, whether it is the best medication for you, what your goals are, etc.

Ok, sorry for that, I should have put that simpler.
Please just tell me, based on your real/statistical experience with your patients, if this side effect is temporary (no matter how long) or if it *can* damage my permanent vision, because my goals are really my hair at first, and I can live with this “blurred vision” if, obsiously, it will not cause real/permanent damage.
Thanks again, of course I’ll check my doctor, but sincerily I trust your wider experience much better…
