My eyes are so dry and sore after 10 rounds of breast radiation. Has anyone else had the same problem?

Many people going through breast radiation do report experiencing eye dryness and discomfort as a side effect of treatment. It's worth mentioning this symptom to your medical team, as they may have suggestions for managing eye comfort during radiation therapy and can determine if what you're experiencing is related to your treatment.

My eyes were terribly dry on the anastrozole. I had to use good drops during day then eye ointment at bedtime. Try increasing your hydration, I use LMNT drink mix added to my water so I can really hydrate but replace sodium, magnesium and potassium. You have to get from the LMNT site. Amazing product. I had radiation in July. I walked 4 to 10 miles a day after my radiation treatment each day. Try replens drops
