I got the vertigo 3 times on the last 2 days. My eye Dr days the Kisquli is giving me dry eyes and when I put drops in the or cry it seems to help clear it up.

I go see my oncologist on Wed and I'm going to bring this up. It's not bad its just a little annoying at times.

Do not use prescription Restasis.

I used it and it caused my eyes to burn and other symptoms. I don’t remember. I just know I’ll never use it again.

My ophthalmologist recommends over-the-counter preservative free Systane eye drops.

Systane is the best.

My clue that I do not ever want contacts or Lasik surgery is my ophthalmologist wears eyeglasses .

I also have the very, very beginning of wet maculation and cataracts but that’s due to age.

I have every symptom mentioned in the article above.
I have/had dry eye due to Covid.

I had 2 styles in about a month period.

He wanted to give me steroids for the styes but warm compresses several times a day worked just as well.

I have also found that the more prescriptions you take the more side effects you get.

Forgot to mention I am taking Letrozole.

There are exercises on the internet that you can do for Vertigo. They do work.

I have dizziness when I turn my head to the left when lying down in bed. But I have blockages in my carotid both sides of my neck.

The preservative-free Systane eye drops are excellent.
It is best to use preservative-free eye drops if you have ever had any eye reactions.

Eye-related symptoms during breast cancer treatment are not uncommon. While vertigo isn't specifically mentioned in relation to these medications, eye problems including dryness can occur during breast cancer treatment. It's excellent that you're planning to discuss this with your oncologist, as they can best evaluate your specific situation and recommend appropriate solutions.

Your observation about eye drops helping is important to share with your healthcare team. They may want to monitor your symptoms and possibly adjust your treatment if needed. Several MyBCTeam members have reported various eye-related symptoms during treatment. Some have experienced:
• Eye twitching
• Vision changes
• Eye dryness
• Floaters

These symptoms often improve after treatment adjustments or completion. While waiting for your oncologist appointment, continue using your eye drops as recommended by your eye doctor if they provide relief.
