Question Eyesight affected by chemo / different meds?

I have had the typical A/C dose dense & 12 weekly Taxols, along with Herceptin (been on that for over 2 years). Since newest recurrence to lung mets, I have been put on Xeloda. This is my 3rd cycle now (2 weeks on, 1 week off).

I notice that my eyesight has gotten a bit worse (things look a little blurry to me), just about the same time as I started Xeloda. I asked my onc & NP about it; they simply said that it was all the meds that I have been on for the past 2 years.

If you have experienced the similar situation with your eyesight, have you come to the point that you would have to get more than 1 Rx glasses in a year?

I am trying to figure out as to whether I should be more frugal on purchasing new glasses, or I should just splurge.... Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.
