Hi I finished chemo July last year but have still got issues with my eyes. I kept telling Oncology every time they rang that I was suffering from watery eyes but all they said was get over the counter drops. I was beside myself so 'phoned McMillan for advice. They said I should go the the optician, for which I am grateful. I went to the optician about 2 months ago. He was very thorough and gave me as list of things to do to help ie heat masks twice a day, massage eyelids, intense eye drops every hour, ointment at night and wipes to clean the eye lids and lashes. I feel better in the morning using ointment, however, every time I step outside my eyes run like a tap. I wear sunglasses when outside if it's cold and windy to protect my eyes but am still suffering.
Has anyone else come across this? I am still on herceptin but not sure if this effects the eyes, only when it's combined with chemo.
