During chemo my eyesight felt a bit blurred but all ok now. However my optician advised me I would need yearly eyechecks whilst taking tamoxifen as it can build up behind the eye. Its worth going and getting them tested.
Mine were very sore and even now often feel dry like there's sand in them. My chemo finished December 2007. I got some lovely cooling eye drops which made them nice and moist again. I thought my sight had got worse (wear reading glasses) but hadn't deteroriated much when I went for a check up. (Probably natural ageing!!!!!!) Didn't know that about Tamoxifen - I hate it more and more.
HiChic...............my eyesight has gotten worse after having chemo. Before I was short sighted in one eye and long sighted in the other (very handy for a nightclub bouncer,me!) So I am going to have my eyes re tested and get new glasses, so you are not alone on this one.............Take care Love Carol
I'm still on chemo (2 more to go yippeeee) and my eyes were sensitive before if I go over tired/PC use or other irritant, but usually just in my strongest eye.
I have noticed that my vision is more blurred and I struggle with close work in situations where wouldn't have before, like sewing - I thread a needle by instinct now!! Have also had the gritty, irritated feeling and well as them streaming. Am going the get them tested soon.
I will be on tamoxifen, so will make sure |I have regualr tests.
