Has anyone on Anastrozole had eye/sight problems?

I have had similar symptoms- started with anastrozole and switched to letrozole after 6 months with a month off between medications. I had eye twitching, waves lines (like my eye lashes were in the way of my vision), flashes of light when I blinked and increased floaters. Went straight to the eye doctor and he didn’t see anything alarming- now I find my eyes are dry (like if you wear soft contacts and they are totally dried out in your eye) AND I don’t need my contact anymore, my vision in my right eye is better without the contact. I need to go see the eye dr again but in the interim I had breast reconstruction, dealing with shoulder problems so now it’s time to go back to the eye doctor.
Hope this helps

So these visual changes resolved after going off of anastrozole???
I have been on for 3 years and recently developed those wavy lines in left eye. I am finding eye doctors and even my oncologist don't know much about eye issues with these meds
