[Viagra linked to blindness.](http://www.cnn.com/2005/HEALTH/conditions/05/27/viagra.blindness.ap/index.html) Isn’t there a warning on the bottle that says “Viagra not intended for use in self abuse”? ---

> [@](#): > > The FDA has 42 reports of the blindness, 38 among users of Viagra and four among users of Cialis. There were no cases reported among users of Levitra, the third impotence drug. Forty two cases out of millions of doses? And the blindness they speak of is caused by heart disease and diabetes _without_ the drug. If I were going to take Viagra or Cialis or Levitra I would do so without regard to this silly concern. After all, I’m a geezer already and I’m not blind from that other thing. A little myopic, maybe. 😉 ---

On the plus side, it has shown the unintended beneficial side effect of reinvigorating palm hair growth. ---
