Cerazette and blurred vision

Hi, so I've been out on cerazette. Im 46 and docs suggested it as can't take combined bcp due to migraines. I have had issues with HRT and bcp before. Just wondering if anyone else suffers from blurred vision while on cerazette? I thought my dry blurry eyes may be to do with getting a period but certain things I've read seem to point to issues caused by cerazette. My vision has definitely become worse and more blurred in the 2 3 weeks I've been on it. I've so got another period after only having 1 on the 5th of this month.
Anyone else have issues with cerazette?

Doesn't cerezette increase the risk of migraines? I am on it and I have started having a few migraines with auras but not enough to cause concern. Also get really dry eyes - i use drops and a heat pad before squeezing along my lids to help my tear ducts.

I have no idea if it increases risk of migraines, all I know is I haven't had as many as before I was on it. 🤷‍♀️. My doc said combined pills increase the hormones to levels that increase migraines.
I've got dry eye drops to use and these have helped a little. I've also got one of those eye masks that you put in the microwave, that helps a little too.
Just wondering what the correlation between cerazette and blurred vision is.

not sure if you’ll see this, but I just over 2/3 weeks ago started cerelle and I’ve experienced the same thing, relying on my glasses massively. Did yours improve or did you change pill?

Hi, I ended up coming off the cerazette after about 3 months as it was causing issues with my stomach and periods were odd. The dry eye thing and blurry vision was definitely made worse while I was on that tho. I have an ongoing eye problem and had had to have permission to go on any type of hormonal meds. When I stopped the cerazette it helped calm it down again a little bit in the affected eye. I do still notice that roundabout the time a period is going to arrive my eyes do become more blurry with more floaters and dry.
