Vision changes like the gold flashes you're experiencing are definitely worth discussing with your oncologist, as some patients do report eye-related side effects with aromatase inhibitors like anastrozole. Your doctor can evaluate whether these symptoms are related to your medication and discuss alternative treatment options within the same drug class if needed. Many community members have found it helpful to keep a log of when these symptoms occur to share with their healthcare team during appointments.
