I've been on the pill since September and I've noticed some problems with my eyes. At first I thought it was pink eye since it was only one eye, but the doctor thought it was a dry eye. It comes and goes.. usually stays in one eye for 3-4 days goes away from 3-4 days and then shows up in the other eye. Not sure if this is due to the pill, but thought it might be since I can't think of anything else that would cause my eye to dry up, become irritated and red. Please respond if you know of the pill causing anything like this.

When I began taking Ortho Tri Cyclen lo, I discovered that my eyes did the same exact thing. I thought it was allergies (that I never had before.) i went to the doctor several tiems, dry eye, blah blah blah, it's been over a year and my eyes are still itchy and what not- i just switched to Loestrin and i have the same thing- so i dont know if bc pills in general can have this happen----or maybe u really just developed allergies?? i just recently went to an allergist and discovered what i am allergic to due to an allergy test....maybe you should try that?
