My blurred vision was continuing to get worse, so I went back to the eye doctor. Due to my chemo and other medications having dry eye as a side effect, I now have keratitis which is corneal inflammation. It required escalation of treatment and once chemo is done, can take up to 3 months to fully resolve.
My most frustrating symptom is vertical ghosting. It looks like this, sometimes worse, sometimes better:
My first regimen:
- Alaway once daily in the morning
- Refresh Digital twice daily
- Refresh Relieva PF (Preservative Free) 4-5 times a day
- Hot compresses
- Omega 3
My escalated regimen:
- Alaway once daily in the morning
- Refresh Digital twice daily
- Systane Complete PF 4-5 times a day
- Refresh PM lubricant gel once at night
- Cequa (prescription) one drop to both eyes twice daily
- Hot compresses
- Omega 3
I can say it’s no longer getting worse. It’s about the same with some burning now being felt. I’d say my vision issues have scared me the most but I’m keeping ahead of it as best as I can. Knowing it’s not permanent is a true relief.
