I am using Refresh and Sustain for dryness but I didn’t have dryness before MM. Thank you for responding 🙂

I have eye floaters which my oncologist feels are definitely from the myeloma.

I’m sorry you’re having such trouble. At least I know it’s not just me this is affecting because I really wasn’t sure. My doctor had not heard of his other patients having issues with their eyesight.

Multiple myeloma affects your eyes. I have blepharitis which causes my eyes to water a lot. My eye doctor said it’s from my treatment and my oncologist agrees. My eyes water so much because they are dry. I have ineffective tears. I use systane several times a day. With flare ups I use a heat mask twice a day and I have to wash my eyes twice a day with an eye wash. I can’t wear any eye makeup. Take good care of your eyes!

I have dry eyes before any diagnosis. My ortho doesn't believe it is from MM. I'm using refresh and also have an eye cover to heat oil under the eye that causes my dry eyes.
