Low vision Reaction Insights

51 reports name Low vision; 4 recorded a death outcome (7.8% of reported events, not a population-level mortality rate). VeDDRA code: 1598.

By species: Dog (41 reports), Cat (9 reports), Human (1 reports). By breed: Domestic Shorthair (5), Retriever - Labrador (4), Shih Tzu (3).

Most co-reported drugs: Fluralaner Chew Tablets (7 reports), Trilostane (6 reports), Milbemycin Oxime + Spinosad (4 reports), Recombinant Human Insulin (4 reports).

Read these counts as reporting volume, not risk: per our methodology, co-reporting reflects temporal association captured in voluntary submissions, not proof that a drug caused this reaction. A widely-prescribed drug will rack up more raw co-reports at an identical true rate than a rarely-used one, so compare within similar-exposure products.
