What Causes Eye Floaters While On Herceptin And Anastrozole?
I have flashes, like lightening, in my eyes. I can only see them when Im in a dark room, like when I laydown to go to sleep. Don t notice it any other time. I am recovering from breast cancer and am still on Herceptin & a daily pill, Anastrozole, I also have Rezume Lenses implanted in my eyes about 5 years ago.

Hello,
Eye floaters are not usually side effects of Herceptin or Anastrozole. I would recommend you to have an eye exam called slit-lamp examination to examine the back of the eye, the retina and vitreous (these compose the back of the eyeball) and make sure there are no abnormalities in these structures of the eye.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
