The ocular side effects of cancer chemotherapeutic drugs are relatively uncommon. Patients with cancer may develop ocular problems due to metastases to the eye or central nervous system, side effects of radiotherapy or chemotherapy, or totally independent eye disorders. We present a review of the reported ocular toxicities of chemotherapeutic agents to assist the oncologist caring for such patients.
