I'm about 7.5 months out from my radiation/Cisplatin and have noticed that my distance vision hasn't been what it was, for a while now. I have trouble making out the gate assignment information at the airport, for example. I was thinking I was just getting older, but this thread makes me wonder if this could be yet another side-effect of my treatment.

I had Lasic eye surgery about seven years ago which was successful at the time. I would be glad if this turned out to be a temporary side effect of treatment.
