      Has anyone had eye/vision problems while on the Taf/Mek combo? Seems like my mother is going through all side effects. Now she has blurred vision, red eyes and mild headache and I am freaking out. She is seeing her oncologist and ophthalmologist on Monday.

          My husband developed uveitis while on dabrafenib. Treated with high dose steroid eye drops. He did not have headaches- just blurred vision.

                My husband also developed uveitis while on taf/mek…treated with prednisone drops. Very important to have this side affect checked out as he developed a blind spot which may be permanent.
