Hi has anyone been suffering from watery and sore eyes , this gas only just started and it is so annoying,  where they water so much my eyelids then become sore ...any advice on this much appreciated ......thanks 

  • Hi 

    this sounds like dry eye ,silly I know when the result is watery eyes . Are you on chemo because it can be a SE . 
    The girls on my unit were able to provide dry eye drops which helped also my optician recommended warm eye pads to soothe.

    hope this helps 

    One step at a time and ...Breathe !

  • Hi northerner .yes I am on chemo had 3xEC no real effect with eyes but had my first Docetaxel couple of weeks ago and it has got slightly worse ....8m having chemo again this Thursday so I will ask the nurses for some advice .....thanks X

  • Mine have just started becoming watery - 2 weeks after my first docetaxal; they were fine on Ec. I’m not sure if it’s the drug or the fact that my eyelashes are coming out. Going to ask for eye drops also for round 5. X

  • Yes mine were like that on DC . Dry eye drops help and also you can buy an eye heat pad (heat up in microwave) I found that very soothing.

    It does resolve when you stop chemo

  • Hi, I had this which was at it's worse after chemo finished.  Also had runny nose.  I took an antihistamine which helped.  3 month post chemo and so much better x
