			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sorry for the lack of posts. I have been busy preparing for a small DMH presentation.</p>
<p>It is common knowledge that many typical antipsychotic agents can cause blurred vision; this is likely due to the anticholinergic activity that many of them possess. However, I recently had a patient that seemed to get blurred vision from taking moderates doses of ziprasidone. The blurred vision resolved after ziprasidone was discontinued. Ziprasidone is said to have very little anticholinergic activity. However, visual changes are listed as a relatively common side effect (3-6%). It seems unclear to me if this is still related to anticholinergic activity.</p>
