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

    1. Hi I've been on tamoxifen for only a few months and I've been getting flashing white lights in my right eye, I've had it checked my eyes are fine so think it's the tamoxifen 
  • 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
