Young woman presents with near vision blur

Given the length of time the patient had been taking these medications (buspirone and fluoxetine), if any near vision decrease were a side effect of either medication, the patient would likely have experienced them prior to presenting to our clinic more than 18 months later. [...]we felt these medications had negligible effects on her overall findings. Additionally, she had started this medication for about 6 to 8 weeks before her symptoms started. [...]we felt that this medication likely was playing at least a small role in this patient's visual complaints. Because the two medications are in the same category of drugs, it seems likely that benztropine and atropine would have similar side effects concerning reducing accommodation. [...]we do not feel that these continued medications were causing her original visual complaints.
