I am sorry to hear you have been having vision problems. I hope it is something minor that can be resolved quickly.
If your onc. doesn't think he or she can deal with it ask for a referral to someone who can.
If you have an opthamologist and/or a PCP it might be a good idea to go see those people too.
Sometimes we get other health problems besides cancer. However, sometimes cancer treatment can cause problems even years after a person is finished with treatment. Taxanes can cause some vision problems---------one of which is sensitivity to light.
Good luck. Take care. Let us know how you are doing.
