There was an Abstract at the last SABCS

about increased frequency of retinal hemorrage among anastrozole users:

http://www.abstracts2view.com/sabcs/...u=SABCS07L_109

Before anyone gets over-alarmed by this title, the authors were starting from the assumption that many ocular problems are menopause related, as there are estrogen receptors in the eye. The premise was that estrogen deprivation, whether natural or chemically induced, would have a similar effect.

The results showed the prevalence rate for hemorrage was significantly greater for anastrozole users than tamoxifen users, with a 95% likelihood the anastrozole prevalence rate was equal to or greater than 4%.
