Viagra overdose gives man blue vision

A sex-starved divorcé who defied doctors to order an extra dose of Viagra online has blamed the sex drug for turning his vision blue.

Heating engineer John Pettigrew, 58, ignored doctors' warnings and topped up prescription pills with tablets bought on the internet after enduring a year without sex.

Now he is suffering from a permanent vision change which turns everything he sees into shades of blue.

The father-of-two said: "I admit I ignored the advice on the packet. I was having too much fun. But I'd give up all the sex in the world to be able to see a red letterbox again.

"I have been seeing the world in blue for more than a fortnight now and it's doing my head in."

Pfizer, who make Viagra, say that people should not exceed the recommended dose as the drug can add a blue tint to users' eyesight.
