Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 7 | My husband is experiencing blurred vision due to his Erbitux treatments. His oncologist prescribed antihistamines twice a day. This helped for awhile but now he is having trouble again. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what you may have found that helps this condition. Thank you! | | | | | Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 128 Senior Member (100+ posts) | | Senior Member (100+ posts)

Has your husband seen an opthamologist? My dad also experienced some eye problems, but we were told that it couldve been caused by radiation. Wouldn't hurt to see an opthamologist. Unfortunately, just another doctor to add into the equation :-(. Good luck and please keep us posted!
