Omeprazole and vision disturbances

The Danish Sundhetsstyrelsen has received three ADR reports of omeprazole and vision disturbances. They concern two women aged 58 and 46 years and a 79-year-old man, who were all given omeprazole 20mg daily. After one to two weeks of treatment the two women experienced adverse reactions including decrease in the peripheral visual field. They both recovered within a few days after withdrawal of the drug. The course was slightly different for the man; after taking omeprazole for two months he started to complain about yellow vision and visual impairment. After withdrawal, the yellow vision disappeared but the visual acuity did not totally go back to the level he had before starting omeprazole treatment.
