Are colorful flashing eye floaters a side effect of cancer medication?

Visual changes like flashing lights or new floaters can happen with some cancer treatments, but they can also signal other issues that need prompt attention. It's important to contact your healthcare team right away to report these symptoms, especially since eye-related side effects can sometimes require quick action. Many others in this community have navigated medication side effects, so hopefully you'll hear from people who can share their experiences too.

I have had them. They usually go away in a couple of minutes. I've told my doctor when I have them.

Thank you Virginia. That’s reassuring with everything else going on! I will tell my doctor when I see him. Wonder if my meds are doing it!
