I suffered terribly with my eyes while on chemo, A/C. My cornea became affected due to the dryness and I was a mess for a long time. I was on steroid drops and antibiotic drops as well as artificial tears and gel. I am still using gel and tears and had both tear ducts blocked so my eyes would retain some moisture. To make matters worse, I have a condition called Sjogren's Syndrome and that causes dry eyes as well. My eyes have not felt well but feel a bit better. Not sure what the connection is between Herceptin and the eyes though?
