Claritin, Zyrtec and Prozac are just a few of the medications that can cause double vision and light sensitivity.

These are medications that are taken on a daily basis without a second thought. Even children will rely on some of these medications to relieve symptoms. I know I took Claritin when I was in elementary school to relieve allergies. To be safe, be sure to know the side effects before you begin to take any form of medication.
