Can Chemo Therapy For Breast Cancer Reverse Lasik Surgery Of The Eye?

after kemo for breast cancer they dr gave me steroids. my eyes (and nose and mouth) dried out and now my vision is bad. The eye dr told me that I was legally blind in my left eye. But when I put in eye drops I can see clear for a few min.

Can Kemo reverse the lasic surgery I had several years ago? The eye dr said yes.
