I am using Refresh and Sustain for dryness but I didn’t have dryness before MM. Thank you for responding 🙂
I’m sorry you’re having such trouble. At least I know it’s not just me this is affecting because I really wasn’t sure. My doctor had not heard of his other patients having issues with their eyesight.
Multiple myeloma affects your eyes. I have blepharitis which causes my eyes to water a lot. My eye doctor said it’s from my treatment and my oncologist agrees.
