MO_Sugar Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Has anyone experienced vision problems from chemo? Mine seems to get a little "fuzzy" at times and at times I have a sort of gray haze??? They both come and go. I am going to ask my DR. about it tomorrow at chemo but wondered if anyone else had had this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stand4hope Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Yeah. My husb. complained about that and told the doctor, too. I forgot about that. He even used the same words, grey, fuzzy. I think the doctor went "hmmmmmmm, let me know if it continues". Lots of help, huh. It did go away. Of course, I have no idea if your vision problem is the same as his. It's always good to ask the doc. God bless you, Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie B Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Hey Mo, I went through that also when I did my chemo, many moons ago. And to top it all off, my vision has gotten worse as time goes on. Now I know part of that is age, BUT I know chemo can cause problems with vision as well. But, non the less, check it out! Hope it goes away soon for you. It's frustrating when it happens!

Fay A. Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Mo, Yep....same things happened to me, too. I was told it was normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnyde Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Mo, A friend of mine was having chemo for breast cancer about 8-10 years ago. Her eyes started doing funny things, so she went to the eye dr. He asked her if she was on chemo and said when it was done her eyes would be ok. They are. Ginny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betplace Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 My left eyeball would twitch every once in a while. It was the weirdest sensation, over quickly and only happened 3 or 4 times, I just chalked it up to chemo and it hasn't happened since.

MO_Sugar Posted April 29, 2004 Author Share Posted April 29, 2004 Thanks all for the replies. As with all parts of this disease it is good to know others have "been there, done that". God Bless, MO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhutch1366 Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Yep It happens, Mo. My vision still isn't what it was, but it's okay. Beats the alternative. I also have cobwebby floaty things in my eye. Dr saw them, confirmed they're there. Nothing to do about them. So.? This too shall pass, my friend. XOXOX MaryAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathanS Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Hi MO Sugar- Yeah, I agree that it is probably a side effect of the chemo, but if I were you, knowing this damn disease, I would demand a haed CT and pronto! Just to be sure. When are you next scans to see if the carboplatin and taxol are working? Jonathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dani hobbs Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 My sister has episodes of blurred vision after every chemo tx. Her Dr. said this does happen, and it does clear up, and it did, every time. By the way, she just completed her 6th round of chemo and will get a CT scan next week to see if the tumors have shrunk more, gone away, etc. and will discuss with her Dr. what will happen next--radiation, more chemo, nothing...please keep her in your prayers & positive thoughts. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioKat Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 I've noticed a vision thing a couple of times since I was first diagnosed and started on the chemo. I can only really describe it like a tiny spot of light that kind of grows into a longer ribbon of light that causes a blind spot in my vision. It seems to last maybe 30 minutes or so. It happened again the other day. Not sure if its got anything to do with the cancer or the chemo since it doesn't happen all the time or anything like that. I plan to mention it tomorrow though at the Drs. I haven't before mostly because I've never had one this close to a Drs appointment and I usually forget about them. (my bad yes I know) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
