Absolutely - I know there were days I should not have been driving to work - but I did anyway just to prove a point. The point being - I don't even know. I was just proving a point. Anyway - I had my vision checked in February after chemo was finished. My eye doc said that absolutely chemo does affect the eyes. Thankfully, by the time of my appointment I was not having any issues. There is really nothing you can do - my eyesight is normal now - I wear contact lenses and it was difficult for me to wear my soft lenses during chemo.
Going back to my "proving a point" - I think it was just to prove to myself and others that this was not going to get me down. I wanted things to remain as normal as possible even though I felt like a dead bird laying in a gutter getting rained on -

My eyes are bad anyhow so I haven't really noticed much except for the "floaters". THOSE have increased.

Mine are gummy and runny. My vision has also become blurry even with bifocals.

Hey, I just went for my eye appointment last week, and my eyes had barely changed from 4 years ago! However, my right eye that was worse, has improved and my left eye was a little worse! So, I guess it all balances out! What a nice surprise! I definitely need and use the reading glasses more, but I am mid-50's!!
