Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 618 | I did not have a ND but noticed a droopy eye lid on my right side after radiation. I also had some difficulty with focus in that eye for a time. These look to be diminishing over time. The droopy lid is gone and the strain is much less now 10 months out.
I do know that one of the radiation lines from the IMRT was right behind my right eye as my RO was worried about its proximity to the optic nerve.
