Though the diagnosis and other reports not mentioned, Definitely  need to continue  taking medication  as advised , the change in medication is due to change in type of seizures.. And about visionloss.. it is the risk of vision loss..   Benefit of taking vigabatrin for seizures is much more than  risk of vision loss .. Meanwhile regular  ophthalmic check up is advised
Next Steps
need to continue medication
