Your eyes and AIs and chemo
I’ve noticed that my eyes are extremely dry and have more floaters over the last 2 years since on AIs .... sometimes it is almost like a thin veil is over my eyes that I am looking thru ... yet when I get my eyes tested, they don’t see anything ‘unusual’! AIs tend to dry out the mucous membranes, and the lubrication in your eyes is also a type of mucous membrane. https://www.aao.org/eyenet/article/watch-ocular-effects-of-breast-cancer-drugs?fbclid=IwAR1bXAgw-O2o0YkslsG3hnDqyujUmCp7hBiBWJmyYF-1KIVQmb-M80ekUx0#disqus_thread
Eye Sight Getting Worse
Has anyone else had their eye sight affected by chemo? My vision has become quite blurry and I can't read a book or newspaper anymore. I spoke to my Oncologist about this and she said it is normal and my eye sight should return to normal once chemo has finished. I still have 3 months of chemo to go and I feel my eye sight is getting worse. Has anyone had to get glasses during their chemo to compensate for this? I'm just not sure if I should get my eyes tested and purchases glasses as I don't know if the effects will worsen over the 3 months or stay the same. Any advise or feedback would be much appreciated. Many thanks xo
