Opdivo and double vision

Wondering if anyone else has had vision side effects from opdivo treatments. I have been responding very well after 38 treatments and suddenly woke with double vision. All sorts of tests later, no stroke. maybe optical nueritis? Single vision seems to be returning gradually. Any information is appreciated.

Hi, have been on Opdivo for almost 2 years and no vision issues,each of us react differently. Glad your issue seems to be improving. Hope it will be over soon!

Before I was on Opdivo I was on Chemo and at the time I was also on steroids--Long story short I developed a fairly sudden on set of cataracts and my vision was way off. I also learned it was caused from the steroids. I've now had cataract surgery and my eyesight has greatly improved! I'll consider having a eye exam if you have not already done so, it may be a long term effect of steroids, IF you had them in the past.

Good Luck
