Metoprolol Effect On Tear Ducks

Recently I have been having trouble with my vision, especially after reading or being on the computer for awhile. It's like a film over my eye. I went to an optometrist, and his diagnosis was that my tear ducks were not working properly, mostly in one eye but a little also in the other. He said that this could be a side affect of metoprolol, which I have been taking for several weeks -- (Metoprolol ER succinate 25mg. twice a day. I was prescribed this for a heart skipping, short of breath feeling, a result from mytrovalve prolapse in my heart valve. Has anyone else taking this medicine have problems in their vision?

Actually, vision problems are a very well-known side effect of these types of medications, including Metoprolol, you may also experience headache, dizziness and joint/muscle aches.

I was on it briefly and it drove me crazy, I experienced every side effect they listed and had to stop using it.

Have you tried speaking to your doctor about this? You may require a different medication or a dosage adjustment.
