Tamoxifen and Inflammation of the Macular
Hi all
I had a check up on my vision today as I wear reading glasses. My optometrist told me that Tamoxifen can cause inflammation of the macular. As a precaution she did some extra scans that I will have repeated every few years. I wasn't aware of this risk, so just letting you know.

- Yes it's a known possible side effect for tamoxifen and good to have regular eye checks if taking this drug. I haven't heard of it being common but it is possible.
