Tamoxifen and eyes
Just curious if the decline in my vision is tamoxifen related?..if anyone has experienced this and will it get worse?..I feel sad that my body continues to let me down...really missing normal today!!....
I have been told that Tamoxifen can cause cataracts or make existing ones worse. I am 45 and have some cataracts that I was born with so had these checked before I started Tamoxifen. I will be monitored every year unless I need it. I am finding that I get blurry vision more often, I am short sighted and can still read though and see things close up. I have only been on the drugs 7 months so who knows what will happen. I go see the optician yearly anyway because of the cataracts but it might be a good idea to get your eyes checked if you haven't already. Another thing to check I know but worth it I think.
