Blurry Vision during chemo??

hi there, I had blurry vision. It lasted until around a month after last chemo treatment. I bought cheater glasses at the dollar store, could not thread a needle, I'm a quilter so I needed to see close up. The cheaters worked great and they were cheap. Had my 3 month followup with oncologist, she suggested I get my eyes checked just in case but everything feels back to normal. My eyes were dry too but I used over the counter eye drops and that helped.

I experienced blurry vision during AC and Taxol. It improved after about 4 weeks PFC of Taxol. My blurry vision did not get better but a little worse during Taxol along with the onset of dry eyes. With this said I was one of the "few" ladies that had a worse time on Taxol than AC. I had several eye exams during AC and Taxol treatments but the ophthalmologist will not give me a new prescription until at least 3 months PFC. He indicates this when the eyes should "settle" down. Hope this helps.

My eyes (and nose) ran like a turned on spigot a lot of the time during A/C and Taxol. Didn't have any blurriness though. In the years since I have had some eye issues though. About 1 1/2 yrs after Chemo I developed cataracts, 1 1/2 yrs ago my right retina detached and left retina detached last June. From what I've been told it is very important to keep up with eye appts and if anything 'strange' happens to get to a Dr quickly as time can be very important with some issues - especially with retinas.

I started Taxol and Carboplatin at the beginning of December and by the end of December could not even work on my computer.  I was also having headaches.  I went to the eye doctor and my vision had changed so got new lens.  Well, still having issues seeing but not up close but now watching tv it is blurry with my new lens.  I was still having headaches so my ONC ordered a Brain MRI on my last day of chemo.  It came back clear so now he said we just need to get everything out of my body and work thru it one thing at a time.  I went from having no list of medications to two pages so hopefully now that I am done everything will clear up. 

It's a reasonably common side effect. I waited over a year after chemo to get new glasses because my vision was blurry and the prescription would have been off.
