Could the changes in my eyesight and the frequent numbness in my hands, legs, and back be side effects of taking my seizure medication (Eptoin) and folic acid (Folvite) for three years?

Yes, taking Eptoin (phenytoin) long-term can sometimes cause these issues. Phenytoin can affect your nervous system, leading to feelings of numbness or tingling in your hands and legs, and can also cause changes in your vision, such as blurriness. While Folvite (folic acid) is meant to support your health, long-term phenytoin use needs careful monitoring. I highly recommend discussing these symptoms with your doctor. They can check your medication levels and nerve health to ensure you stay safe and comfortable. Please do not stop your medication without speaking to them first.
