    Like how?

    Heavy, twitching? Avastin sometimes makes your eyes water.

    Sounds anoying. Chemo drugs

    Sounds anoying. Chemo drugs cause some weird side effects. I wish I could help.

    Eyelid fun

    Mine would do twitching as well as hurt really bad I when I cried, I don't remember them feeling anything else.  probably just one of the normal side effects, but you probably should mention it to your oncologist and the oncology nurse.

    No, I'm not winking at you

    When I was on the FOLFOX, my eyes would twitch, especially when I was out in the cold.  

    At times it looked like I was winking at total strangers. Vert embarrising.

    This didn't go on throughout my nine treatments, just replaced by some other kind of side effect 

    You seem to be having a different kind of eye sensation, but I bet it all connected, and nothing to worry about.

    Still, mention it to your Oncologist, it never hurts to get the professional opinion.

    I had the eye twitch.  By the

    I had the eye twitch.  By the 6th or 7th treatment I had a difficult reading.  It did go away quickly after chemo.  I got reading glasses that corrected for a stigmatism and that helped.  I was able to go back to my regular reading glasses after a year.  So, now I have two pairs of glasses that work for me.  lol

     

    I used Lomotil because it did not dry my eyes out like OTC drugs did.

    Best Always,  mike
