Hi Bonnie,
I waited for a year after completing chemo and about two months after finishing Herceptin. I am not sure if I waited long enough or not- my vision had changed dramatically and my prescription almost doubled. My doc said that the tearing mechanism gets a little out of whack and that sometimes it corrects itself and sometimes not. Even with the new lenses, I find that things go blurry sometimes and I have to blink several times to readjust. I also seem to have periods where my vision gets a little worse and then gets better. Don't know if this has helped you or not- :-)
Love, Kelly
