Dr. Rassman, have any of your patients ever complained of Propecia causing Dry Eyes? I’ve been experiencing severe dry eye for a while and until now I hadn’t really thought that cause might be the Propecia. My eye doctor wasn’t aware of that being a side affect but she was going to research it. I’m thinking about stopping it for a month or so to see if I notice any improvement.
Thank-you
Dry eyes is not an officially reported side effect, but I have heard other doctors in my field report rare occurrences of it. I would speak to your doctor and consider stopping the medication after weighing out the risks and benefits of your treatment (with your doctor).
This happened to me, about 2 months into it, I stopped and started a few times to no avail, it got better off then came back while on.My only hope was to get off once and for all and althought my eyes got much better, I still get bouts of dry eye which I never did prior to taking Fin.
