Keytruda causing possible eye side effects

[moderndancer]

In June 2018 I began an every three week regimen of Keytruda and eye tearing began. More recently my orbital pressure increased for which I am taking Prednisone to reduce the pressure. My oncologist believes this is a side effect from Keytruda. Has anyone else had this experience and if so how did you treat it. Thank you.

I am sorry that you are going through this. I've never taken keytruda, so I really can't comment on it's side effects. I just didn't want you to have no responses. Maybe do a web search for keytruda and it's side effects?

How is everything else going?

Thank you for your response. Other than depression, anxiety and fatigue along with the eyes I am doing well. My lung nodules are disintegrating with the chemo/immuno therapy.

My Dad has this too. He's on keytruda. We always blame allergies but I'm betting it's a side effect

My tear ducts closed too and I had to have pie-shaped wedges removed to allow tears to flow down them.
