I have been on Femara since June and recently had an eye bleed - jury is still out but will be a topic of conversation with Onc early December. The bleed was 3 weeks ago and last week went back for check up and normal eye checkup.
Ever since I was diagnosed with BC my Optometrist always does a pressure test. Last week was my normal eye check up and they found dead cells in the eye socket and a patch on the back of the cornea - had 3 appointments to check during the week and another follow up this week and then another will be booked in for the day before Onc visit. Is it co-incidental or is it a side effect? The dead cells have subsided with drops however the patch is still there - the drops are meant to be curative!
Upon reading Dr Google, which I am not a fan of as I can get my knickers in a twist, it would appear that there's a possibility of eye problems on this drug - geez it just keeps giving!
