Hi,

I'm on 120 mg / day of accutane (BW=83kg, so almost 1,5mg/kg/day)
Yesterday I had been sitting in a semi dark environment for maybe an hour or so. I walked out afterwards into the sunny weather, and I noticed myself shutting my eyes and putting my hands in front of 'em for about 30 seconds.
After that I had not much difficulty walking / seeing around, but I never experienced anything like this when going from dark to light areas.

I'm not really concerned or anything, but could this have anything to do with accutane? Anyone else here experienced the same?

I had it too yesterday. Watched a football match in a dark pub, then walked outside and it was that bright it was as if a mother ship was landing on the street.

I have noticed this too actually. I went grocery shopping the other day, and when i went outside i could barely open my eyes and they became very teary. Didn't realize but maybe it is due to the accutane.

Didn't realize but maybe it is due to the accutane.

Perhaps thats just what the aliens want us to believe. Best had check yourself for signs of alien abduction.

Where on earth (space?) did this alien story come from? lol

Anyway, I don't really notice myself squinting more than usually. Only this dark-light difference, something I never experienced before.
Strange side effect would this be though.
