I was not aware of that type of radiation. But, since the radiation is delivered through a catheter, it is delivered directly to the breast and I would think should not cause damage to your eyes.
Consult your physician about your vision problems. The cause may not be a side effect of radiation. Either way, you need to have this checked out.
I had radiation treatment for brain cancer and because of exposure to my eyes, I am at risk for developing cataracts. But, our cases are different. Don't hesitate, make an appointment with an ophthalmologist.
