Hi has anyone had eye problems on tamoxifen, I have been on it for a year and my eyesight doesn’t seem as good as it was
Hi unfortunately I cannot answer your question myself, but I noticed you've not had a response yet, as the site is quite busy. Hopefully my reply will bump your post to the top and someone will be along soon. Best wishes
Hi I was just wondering how your eye was now? I went to the opticians today as I have a floater in my right eye, luckily this turned into nothing to worry about however whilst checking my eyes the optician has discovered I have retina toxicity from the tamoxifen. I will speak to my cancer nurse after Xmas but it would seem the only way of stopping it getting worse is to stop taking the tamoxifen
