My near vision improved after the stem cell transplant. I figure it is because I also have MS and it has caused vision issues for me in the past and the transplant caused a change in my MS.

Hi, my eyesight has also gotten worse. It feels like a sticky substance coating my eyes. Hopefully the eye doctor can give me something to help this. 18 months of chemo and this just started about a month ago. I was on Revlimid and now Pomalyst.

Dan,
I would call the new local oncologist and find out how to become his/her patient. If I don’t hear back in 48 hours, I figure they are never getting back to me. As to your eyes, it may be you have more floaters and a new prescription. My eyesight has actually gotten better since I’m eating a grated carrot a day in my salad. Some MM meds can affect the eyes also.

Curative Approach to Smoldering Myeloma May Prevent Progression - Oncology Nurse Advisor

@A MyMyelomaTeam Member hi Paula I have an eye appointment next week to check my eyes and discuss the diagnosis with the eye doctor, is there anything I need to cover besides the obvious diagnosis and the sometimes blurred vision I’m having, that could just be I need to update my prescription? Thanks, this disease is from head to toe. At this stage, no treatment, so my eye issue is likely just my age, however, w treatment, it’s open season on out body, I plan to ask for a full body scan, like u said, at some point once I get switched back over to Medicare but that won’t beconme effective until Jan 1 2025, so I have to wait, which I don’t like but seems I have no choice. I requested a new local onc doc last Thursday via email and I have not heard back from the patient manager.
