Re: Vision Problems - Side Affect of Herceptin???

Thanks, I think its a well known fact these drugs can effect the eye sight, I had watery eyes all through chemo and herceptin for up to a year and my optician said there was no point changing glasses until I was finished.

It certainly affected my vision too as it did many of my friends too, thanks for the mention of the article and will check it out now too.

Re: Vision Problems - Side Affect of Herceptin???

Hello to everyone! My goodness, it's been so long since I've posted.
I got an email about someone with eye problems and thought I would just throw in some info.
I'm nine years out!!!! Yay. I did want to note that following the completion of my treatment, I did develop some eye problems. I now have macular degeneration in one eye. Have had to get some glasses, the other eye isn't too bad, just blurry. I attribute everything to the chemo and Herceptin, however, it did save my life so no complaints!
I hope all my old friends are doing well. I'm gonna have to check the board and see what's happening.
My love to everyone, you guys saw me thru some really rough times and I love you for it.
Susan
