eye exam

just a quick question.....is there any time frame in which one should avoid getting an eye exam in relation to chemo/Herceptin treatment? I missed my annual exam last year when I got preoccupied with surgery and chemo. I really feel like my vision needs attention. But I wonder how much is related to treatment and if I should wait? If it would be invalid to get an exam right now.....thanks....
