Eyesight affected by chemo / different meds?

Sarahdalton,
I have heard that the "cataract" drops reverse cataracts. I want to try, and can you tell me the name so that I can also get them ?.

Funny, I went through the blurry vision phase also. The optometrist said Cataract had started. It was after Taxol and during the later part of the 52 week Herceptin phase when it happened. Now my eye seems fairly stable. However, no doctor or Onc was sure whether it was due to all that chemo, radiation, Herceptin etc., or natural ageing. From hindsight, now personally I feel it must be because while the drugs kill Her2/Neu, they may also kill some good cells such as in hair or Cornea or even the lens. Hence the blurriness. However, I am thinking of using the cataract reversing drops available, I am told in Switzerland.
