Been on Accutane for about 2 1/2 months now and my left eye started to go all blood shot. Used some non-prescription eye drops and it didn't really do a lot. Wasn't irritated just really dry and my eyes would not stop watering. Now my left eye is fine but my right eye has gone all weird. Just wondering if anybody else has experienced this and what will help! Have been told that I'm not allowed any Brolene eye drops or anything of the sort as it will most probably cause a bad reaction. I have prom coming up so any help would be really great!!

Thanks

JESSIE4 - This is a forum for those dealing with Crohn's disease. Do you have Crohn's? As far as all the things you have experienced since starting Accutane - have you spoken to the doctor that prescribed the Accutane? He/she would be the one to evaluate all these sudden changes you have noticed. Please consider calling him/her.

I have never taken Accutane so cannot be of any assistance. Sorry.

There has been sufficient evedence linking Crohn's to accutane. No one with Crohn's would even think about taking accutane, and your Dr. should know that and never have prescribed it to you.

Accutane is not a good drug to take. It say right on the website to never take it if you have IBD, UC or Chrons.
