Eye care management
Guidance to help manage eye-related side effects
Advise patients on the following strategies to help manage eye-related side effects:
-
Administer preservative-free artificial tears at least 4 times a day, beginning on the first day of infusion and continuing until completion of treatment. This may help with eye-related symptoms. For patients with dry eye symptoms, additional therapies may be recommended by eye care professionals.
-
Avoid contact lenses until the end of treatment.
-
If vision changes are experienced, refrain from driving or operating machinery until evaluated by an eye care professional.
-
Contact their care team promptly if they experience any eye-related symptoms.
