Hi Ginger, I was on Revlimid for a little over 3 years. Dr. just changed me to Thalomid because of my kidney number going down. I had my eyes checked 2 months ago and had to take them back because it was hard seeing far especially when driving. I'm going to see my Ophthalmologist next week. I did have a blood clot behind the retina 2 years ago and was getting shots in my eye 8 times that was good after the injections. I'm sure he can help me, I'm praying. Been wearing glasses for 60 years! This should make you laugh I always say I have to put on my glasses to answer the phone LOL! Oh I had cataract surgery on both eyes. Thanks for your post Ginger!!

@ancopau1998 Angie, I am also on Revlimid, since August 2021. But I already had non-mm related kidney issues so that has not been a factor, except to do a very low dose of the Revlimid.
Glaucoma runs in my family. My mother had it, and my twin brother has it. When I go back in to eye Dr this summer I am sure she will check for it again.Because she knows my medical history, she has been pretty good at monitoring everything. Remember, our systems are pretty fragile, being immune compromised, and it doesn't seem to take much to throw things off! I hope you will let us know what your opthalmologist tells you.
