2nd chemo round - eyesight concerns

Sue Jones

Hi folks!

i completed my second round of TC chemo on Thursday and woke up this morning with blurry vision, it has not really improved throughout the day.  I am wondering if this is a common side affect of chemo or not and/or whether anyone else has encountered this problem.

Regards Sue

Hi Sue, I have blurry vision and am blaming the chemo as well. I had 12 rounds of T P. I finished chemo 12th November and still have blurry vision, it seems to be worse when I first wake up of a morning and when I get tired. It is very frustrating but have decided that I will wait six months before doing anything about it as I'm sure it is another chemo side effect as I lost my eyelashes and eyebrows 3 weeks after finishing chemo.

Stay strong love Leanne B xo

Thanks Leanne!  It seems a little better today so I will see what happens.

Hi Sue, my eyes were a problem too with TC. It took about 4 weeks from when I finished for them to come right. I used a dry eye spray which helped them feel better. Just need time to heal.

all the best

Hi Sue, 

My Daughter has blurred vision a few days after her AC chemo even with her glasses on, it goes away after a few days but if she is tired it comes back. Her chemo doc says it is a side effect and normal but if it gets worse like you cant see get it checked straight away.

hope that helps 

Cheers Sue

Thanks heaps Sue, just disconcerning when my sight isn't that flash already.

Thanks heaps Kim.  I now have some drops for dry eyes so am trying them out.
