Unless you have severe, widespread, and scarring acne, The Regimen is normally my suggestion for the most effective acne treatment.

Ugh - this is going to drive me CRAZY!!! I am on Accutane and I read that one of the "less common" side effects are seeing spots or flaoters. I was experiencing it a little on 30mg dose, but now I have been upped to 50mg and the flosters have increased as well.

 

Anyone else have this side effect? I am only on week 5 of my treatment. So far I am having AWESOME results. My face is almost blemish free. My initial break out was mild. I hate to think that I may have to go off the meds b/c of my vision

UPDATE- saw my optimologist.... my eyes/corneas are fine. Turns out it is normal for people to see floaters, to a degree. He said it is a sign that I am not a young kid anymore. As if I didn't already know that *rolls eyes*

Call your doctor IMMEDIATELY! I would also make an appointment with an eye specialist.

Seeing spots or floaters is a sign of retinal detachment, which can lead to decreased vision or blindness.

Nearsightedness is a risk factor that can predispose you to retinal detachment.
