I am curious to find out if anyone has eye problems during/after chemo? I saw the ophthalmologist before I started chemo, got a new prescription...now my eyesight has changed, dramatically, night driving is difficult , and my eyes water, all day and evening! I will address this w/oncologist, in 2 weeks...Thanx for any replies I get...๐Ÿ˜Š

My oncologist also mentioned that many times eye problems are due to the steroids, not just the chemo.

I went to the eye doctor today and got a new prescription for bifocals and some eye drops for dry eyes...also eye drops for allergy relief - hoping to clear up the tears. He said chemo can affect the eyes, but it's also in my case menopause and aging. I'd rather blame it on the chemo.

My eyes watered like crazy during chemo. Also my vision got really, really blurry. That went away about 4-6 weeks after finishing chemo.

My eye sight changed a lot during chemo but I feel it improved some- I'm now a year outside of chemo

I didn't have chemo or radiation and my eye sight deteriorated alot since my diagnosis.
