I have had a macular hole and have been told by someone else who had same that it was a side effect of Lipitor. Had surgery and survived the two-week face down position, but sight has not yet returned. It is some better, but still very poor after 2 months. Also had had some tingling weak feelings in my hands, neck, back of the head, and shoulders. From the minute I stopped taking Lipitor, these symptoms completely disappeared.
