Thank you for sharing this important experience about macular edema as a side effect of anastrozole. Vision changes can be particularly concerning during cancer treatment, and it's helpful when community members alert others to watch for rare but serious side effects. Many people may not be aware that certain cancer medications can affect eyesight, so discussing this with oncologists and getting prompt evaluation of any vision changes is crucial for the best outcomes.
