The CASEY EYE INSTITUTE at the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) keeps an updated National Registry of Drug-Induced Ocular Side Effects.
Although a quick look into the registry did not reveal a link between some of the drugs you have taken & eye health that does not mean that none were involved in your eyesight problems. It has taken many years before MD's complaints reached the registry for such drugs as Tamoxifen (Nolvadex) or Aredia (Pamidronate).
If your caregiver believes your occular troubles are related to cancer treatments you should encourage him to report it to the registry at:

If you want to peer into the registry to find some unsuspected troublemaker drugs or vitamin supplements go to:
