vision and chemo

I'm on round 4 out of 6 of carbo for ovca.  I have noticed a serious decline in my vision since starting, especially at night.  It's to the point where I need to get glasses for driving.  Small complaint considering the alternative, but I'm wondering if anyone else experienced this?  Does it get better or stay the same after chemo?

  I started experiencing the same thing while on carbo/taxol. My night driving was not to bad, but I quickly reached the point where I had to wear my glasses to read.
  As I have had to stay on chemo, it is very noticable now. My vision is nothing compared to what it was 3 years ago.

Hi,
I had that too, especially at night.  It took about a month, as I remember, for that symptom to disappear after chemo, but I'm happy to say it did.  As did the watery eyes. I remember that the glare from oncoming cars was almost unbearable, too.
Best of luck.  Kathy
