I just saw my eye doc today because of eye strain and eye aches. I had A/C, Taxol and just finished Herceptin in July. To my surprise, my opthamologist said I am developing catarcts. I just saw this doc in Feb and there were no lens changes at that time. He does not think it is caused by Tamoxifen, but I have read some reports that links Tamoxifen to cataracts. I tend to think of cataracts in people over 60, but this doc said people in their 40's can start the process.
