Has anyone on Anastrozole had eye/sight problems?

There is a good article on M.D.Anderson site about 8 cancer treatment-related eye changes and how to manage. Certain cancer treatments can cause eye related side effects. You have to be so careful about what you decide upon and the side effects of each treatment. I have done a spread sheet of treatments and side effects and also used the Predict Breast Cancer site to look at statical outcomes.

Too many want to dictate without patient input. Your body, your choice.

It did make my cataracts grow faster. I had cataract surgery right after the 5 year mark. Just be warned - a lot of drugs do this. AI drugs happen to be one of many.
