Burning, itchy, watery eyes

Is anybody suffering this side effect?  i have to work on a computer at work, and my eyes are killing me!!  i am on cytoxan, 5-Fu, and MTX.  Any suggestions?  Thanks

    Mine don't burn except in the morning when I first wake up but they do water, badly...it's so bad I have to carry a kleenex with me all the time to dab them...I'm on Taxol x 12 .........have done this since the very first one. I've tried drops and all, nothing helps.

    i had burning eyes and irritation during my chemo too. (TAC) what helped me was cold compresses on my eyes; seemed to cool them off.  i also tried eye drops but actually the cold compresses helped the most. talk with the nurses at your chemo place and see what they suggest. hope you feel better*
