vision anomalies and heart drugs

Over the last few months I have been experiencing some
strange anomalies in my vision every time I happen to rotate
my eyes (without rotating my head) in any direction, in
order to watch any object, no matter its distance, located
some 40 degrees or more off-axis. Describing such anomalies
is somewhat difficult for me, anyway here I do my best: -
fatiguing and difficult focusing of the off-axis objects -
difficult and unstable combining of the right and left eye
views of the off-axis objects -surge of slight dizziness.

Note: no problem at all with my straight ahead viewing, and
no need for eyeglasses.

For a number of reasons, I suspect a collateral effect from
one (or more) of the drugs I take to treat my heart
problems: -flecainide, 150mg daily (my number one suspect)
-sotalol, 160mg daily -ticlopidine, 250mg daily.

What is your opinion about that?

I would suggest you ask your doctor for a referral to see a
neuro-opthalmologist.
