Although I think from personal symptoms, it is most likely a yet only semi-diagnosed cataract, I have been researching information online for possible reasons of my compromised vision of my only good eye. While looking, I came across quite a few sites that claim aspartame (nutrasweet) causes significant health risks including loss of vision. Here is just one site I came across.

I have been using aspartame ever since it first came out in the early to mid 80s with it's introduction to diet Pepsi. Although it varies, I probably average consumption of a couple of cans a day of diet soda containing aspartame.
Anyhow I'm going to stop using it for awhile to see what happens. It can't hurt. I gotta think though, it's been out for 20 years. If it really was that bad, wouldn't there be more case studies and it would be pulled from the market?
