Yes, I had blurry vision, my eyes would gush water for no reason at all! Went away after was done with chemo. Took a few months though.

I had the same thing. Go to the opthomologist and he will give you drops for your eyes. Your eyes are getting inflamed from taxol and in turn closing your tear ducts. When your tear ducts close your eyes will start watering. The drops will prevent all of that. I waited too long and they had to clip my tear ducts open. Not fun!!! I thought I was allergic to my wig!!!

I had Taxotere which is in the same grouping and I had some problems with my eyes. But it resolved after the treatments were complete. Pretty quickly as I recall.

I experienced eye twitching, which mostly was very annoying. It stopped after I finished chemo!!!
