Letrozole

The view of the Optometrist is what you will have to let the EP know! 
I had blood shot, broken vessels in one eye but never related it to Letrozole even though I was on it at the time.  We were terribly busy and I was overdoing it with regard to pushing and shoving and packing!
Thank goodness you've got it identified and stick to your guns or maybe change EP if they won't accept the view of the Optometrist

Take care and Best wishes

Yep, the weights would definitely cause it ... watch out for your shoulders too.  A buddy who started weights when she was well into her 50s (and was lifting serious weights - even doing comps) has had to have shoulder reconstruction.  I don't think she is doing weights any more.

Did your EP know about your medical history & age?  If 'yes' it is Surprising that they put you onto the biggish weights fairly quickly! ... Repetition of smaller weights would probably do the job just as well .... and hopefully not cause injuries!   

take care & I hope it heals well xx

Hi. Just an update on my red eye. I visited an optometrist this morning who checked my eyes. Everything is fine except for a burst blood vessel, which the optometrist believes was caused by heavy lifting. As a result, I’ve had to postpone exercising until the blood vessel heals. I was concerned about the weights, especially since the exercise physiologist recently increased them to 16 kg. I think it might have been too much, especially for someone older who hasn’t done much heavy lifting in the past, particularly while recovering from cancer treatment. I will ask my EP to review my plan and come up with something more suitable for me. At least it is not caused by Letrozole. 

Sounds like you may have identified the cause!  Get it checked!
Take care

thank you @arpie and @Katie46. I saw an optometrist two months ago and was prescribed Hylo-Forte eye drops for dry eyes. I need to find out why my eyes often become bloodshot, as it looks quite alarming. I've also heard that heavy lifting can cause eye vessels to burst, and since I'm doing a lot of weight training as part of my exercise program (recommended by my exercise physiologist), I’ll need to check into all of this.

Hi @GorgyS, I've had very dry eyes since I started chemo and seemed to get slightly worse since I've started letrozole. It started affecting the vision in my right eye, and my ophthalmologist told me to alternate hylo forte and nova tears every hour until they improved. I did that for a week or so, and slowly reduced it to a couple of times a day. They still get very dry at night, and some days I need to use it more.

I haven't noticed bloodshot eyes, @GorgyS - Have you been rubbing them much recently?  There's been a lot of pollen in the air that could aggravate and it has also been very windy (in my area, anyway!).... Or do you live in a rural area where there may be aerial spraying of crops?    Maybe ask your GP/Onc if others have complained of the same thing?

However, Since going onto AIs, my eyes have been very dry - sometimes as if a thin veil is over my eyes!  Yet the ophthalmologist can't see it thru his microscope!!  So I tend to blink a lot to keep them moist - and have some of those tiny little vials of saline that I use, if they get really bad.

take care - I hope it rectifies quickly xx

Thank you @HelenlovesSnoopy. As it comes and goes, I am going to see a GP tomorrow because it is extremely red today. I will also report this to my oncologist. It is just very red. I do not have any other discomfort in my eye. 

Hi @GorgyS,  My eyes haven't been red but they've been very dry since I had chemotherapy.  I discovered this because I had some trouble with my contact lenses and went to see the optometrist.  Just mentioning in case it's related to your chemo?  But you're probably right if it's happened soon after Letrozole.
