Watery Eyes During Chemotherapy: Any Advice?

Hello. Yes had the same for months. Was given a steroid drop but it didn’t help. It went away on its own several weeks later

Yes, seems to be leveling out after 3 months

Yes, during my 4 cycle rounds of TC chemotherapy last year 2024. I used eye drops still was experiencing watery eyes even after I finished treatments on October 10, 2024.

I only had 4 cycles and I didn't notice it during chemo but almost immediately I after had non stop watery eyes. Had to keep a kleenex near at all times. My Dr. wasn't surprised as chemo effects so many systems, especially those that have quick cell turn over.Then like magic it was just gone one day. It was probably 3 months after finishing for it to completely stop. I also had brown lines down some of my fingernails and toenails which was concerning but was also from chemo.

Yes near the end of my 12 Taxol treatments. Was worried my contacts were going to come out because of it. But is slowly dissipated after completing Taxol.

Yes. Didn't have it with doxycycline and cyclophasphamide. Started when I was on paclitaxel. I am 4 weeks out from end of chemo and still experiencing.

Yes. With paclitaxel. 4 werks out from last chemo and still experiencing.

I had watery eyes all throughout chemo nothing seemed to help so I carried tissues with me all of the time from time to time people would even ask me if I was okay and I would smile and just say I'm surviving right now :)

This side effect can be really frustrating to deal with on top of everything else you're managing during treatment. Many people in the community have shared similar experiences with eye-related changes during chemotherapy, and it's definitely worth bringing up with your care team since they may have additional suggestions beyond over-the-counter drops or want to check if this could be related to your specific treatment plan.
