Visual acuity increased with rapamycin

I have been using rapamycin 2mg/week for about 3 weeks. Normally I have slight myopia. I noticed that I can see more clearly after rapamycin for the last week. This is a very nice feeling. Has anyone had a similar experience?

have you had a test administered by an optometrist for more objective measure ?

I felt as though my eyesight has improved slightly, but I still can’t be sure it’s my imagination or the Rapa.

I have had slight myopia since college and I have had periodic opto checks. In the past decade when I was very active outdoors, my myopia has improved slightly (without rapamycin). My contacts in my left eye went from -1.5 to -1.25 and right -1 to -.75 Who knows really why, my theory is that I spent lots of time outdoors looking afar.

I am starting rapamycin for my periodontal disease which will be tracked with dental cleanings. We will see if the eyesight improves as well with my check ups.

My own myopia improved on the last test. I am not sure what this correlates with, however. I don’t have a problem with hypermetropia either. My lens flexibility is OK.
