What is sildenafil ?
Viagra relaxes muscles found in the walls of blood vessels and increases blood
flow to particular areas of the body. Viagra is used to treat erectile
dysfunction (impotence) in men. Another brand of sildenafil is Revatio, which is
used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension and improve exercise capacity in
men and women. This page contains specific information for Viagra, not Revatio.

It is not clear whether sildenafil is the actual cause of vision loss.
