melcarity, I'm glad your eye issues are a little clear now (no pun intended!) I have been on one chemo or another since 2014 (mTNBC) and last December I noticed my eye sight was very blurry. I had only had them tested in July that year , and needed a new prescription! I went back to the optometrist who checked my eyesight and agreed it was quite different. He then checked my eyes and saw that both had developed quite bad cataracts. Usually its just one then the other but mine had developed together within 6 months. It took a while to organise the operations as they had to be just prior to each chemo session, and time in between for the good eye to recover before the other was done. My eye sight is great now :) I've worn glasses for 40 yrs as I have an astigmatism where my eyes don't line up, so prisms in the glasses do the job my brain can't!! I have multifocals to cover all distances :)
