I just finished my last herceptin and I had my annual eye exam just prior to my last treatment. My vision changed VERY little from one yr ago which was before chemo and herceptin.
Bonnie, my husband, an optometrist, said it will not invalidate your eye exam to get it examined now.
For those on Tamoxifen, he said it is a very good idea to get it examined before taking Tamoxifen and then to be checked regularly while on because that medication may cause physiological problems to eyes. Rare, but can happen.
