My already dry eyes became a nightmare of a problem on Taxol/Herceptin. My vision got worse and worse and I ended up seeing a cornea specialist, who said that chemo was making my existing condition much worse (I actually developed scars on my corneas). My specialist was wonderful- put me on Restasis, Evoxac, and put plugs in all of my tear ducts. For awhile (05-06) I saw him every few weeks. He worked miracles on me- scarring disappeared and vision returned to normal. I still use Restasis as needed.
