No it isnt permanent according to my eye doctor. She said it was similar to a drug she would use to dilate your eyes for say a more indepth testing. You don't necessarily see your eyes or pupils looking more dilated just that is what the cymbalta does inside the eye and the changes it causes to the retina. But after you get off the drug it will go away but takes a little while. She said 2 months or so. I was on cymbalta 60 mg. for 9 -10 months and mine went away. She would now let me get contacts I just haven't been back yet. Not a priority now. I went to see her as I thought my eyesight was going bad. I couldn't see anything and was running into stuff. My eye doctor knew more about the side effects of cymbalta than the doctor prescribing it in the first place. Oh well live and learn. So don't worry it will go away. rk
