I had to wear a scopalomine patch for several months due to nausea. And yes, it can make your vision blurry. It is a very common side effect of the patch. I am also a nurse had have seen it at work with patients using it.
My vision was not majorly changed, but things were not as crisp and as clear. I actually was due to get an eye exam and new glasses and contacts, but on the advice of my eye doctor waited until I was no longer using the patch.
And because I wore my patch for so long -- about 4 to 5 months, I felt worse when i tried to quit cold turkey. I ended cutting the patch in half and wearing that for a week to wean my body off of it. Hopefully you won't need yours for so long! My issues were rare and definatly not the usual.
Good luck,
Jennifer
