Hi everyone, l have just finished 8 cycles of chemo and my eye sight seems to have got marginally worse. l am assured by optician that my prescription has not changed since pre-chemo times. ( Paradoxically my hearing seems to have improved ThinkingThinking. ) and l am advised to use re-hydrating eye drops .

Question:- Has anyone had a similar outcome during or after chemo?  Regards to everyone.  Adrian

  • Hi Adrian

    Although I don't have the experience you're looking for, I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet so responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list where it'll stand more chance of being spotted by someone who does.

  • Hi Adrian,

    Sorry I cannot help you there, I have not heard of anyone else with eye sight problems, hopefully someone else on the community may know.

  • Hi Sandy,

    Thanks for your reply. I' m answering with a different device . I don't seem to get all replies etc on it but hey ho. Always good to see your name and read your uplifting responses, despite your own " difficulties" ( if l can put it like that ).

    Re eyesight l got some eye drops which lubricated the eyes and that seems to have helped. So not quite the blind old bat yet!

    Now having to contend with continuance of twice daily anti coag injections. 6 months now. I know how a porcupine feels when brushing up against a hedgehog WinkWink Anyway as we all say and mean, keep safe. Adrian
