I too had vision changes while undergoing chemo (blurry vision) and also was told to wait until way after chemo to see if that did not correct itself. That said...I do wonder about the eyes being different and I don't buy the Dr's reasoning of different prescription because the eyelid(s) are drooping. I could see that impeding your field of vision but don't understand how that would relate to blurry vision. I would definitely mention it to my onc and it may totally benign just like Elaine said. I just rather be on the safe side.
