Documented eye effects of Antifungal Medications
According to the prescribing information for Fluconazole, common ocular side effects are typically dose-related and reversible: mild blurred vision in the first hours after dosing, mild dry eye over weeks, transient colour-perception shifts in some agents (e.g. blue-tinted vision in PDE5 inhibitors). Pharmacological options include topical and oral azoles such as fluconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole and posaconazole; topical and oral allylamines such as terbinafine; topical polyenes such as nystatin; intravenous p… Severe ocular events — sudden vision loss, persistent visual disturbances, retinal changes — are rare but require immediate evaluation.

Persistent blurred vision, double vision, severe light sensitivity or sudden vision loss while on Antifungal Medications at 50mg, 100mg, 150mg, 200mg is a stop-and-evaluate signal, not something to wait out.
