Hi Louise, I've always had good vision. Since receiving Herceptin, I've developed macular degeneration. My onc says, no way it's related to the herceptin. Who knows?? All I know is there is nothing I can do about it, it will get steadily worse. Doc says it's "age related", I'm 56. Seems a little young to me to be "age related". My oncologist sticks by "herceptin has no side effects". Best of luck to you.
Hugs
