I took Elahere for 8 months. It cause cornea inflammation so my vision was a bit blurred, cleared up, same thing next round so I stopped august 2025. Now because I’d the Elahere I have a cataract in both eyes which is causing blurred vision and will see a cataract surgeon to remove them. Now they are finding out that in 15-25% of people taking Elahere will develop cataracts.

Thank you for your response. It’s always the good with the bad for these treatments. Did you get a good response for your cancer with the Elahere? What cancer treatment are you on now?

I had 4 rounds of Elahere and Avastin last winter. Didn’t affect my eyes but every other side effect found me. Made my neuropathy increase. That’s mostly why it was stopped. Last CT was not good so I’m waiting to see if I’m eligible for Proton therapy.
