Has anyone had similar- I had my 2nd zoladex injection on 24th March - the last few days I have started to develop black floaters and cloudy vision in my right eye?? I have had to stop the add back HRT due to migraine symptoms - I am wondering if the eye symptoms could be connected to the Zoladex

Hi I would give GP or consultant a call.

I agree.  I don't think sudden floaters, etc should be ignored, so see GP, or maybe your optician if you have one and they are good.

Hi Lindle - I have requested a 2nd opinion at a specialist centre and have an appt 4th May - my current gynaecologist does not want to proceed to hysterectomy until all other options pursued due to the risks of surgery.

Intermittent black spots still persisting in right eye - mainly when bright lights - been to optician who though spots were visual disturbance ?? migraine but wasnt sure if there is a connection to Zoladex. Referred to eye specialist who have found 'fine macular drusen' in right eye - he wouldn't commit to there being a connection - never had eye problems before. Seeing gynaecologist on Wednesday...(I have emailed her in advance of my appt). 

Also having intermittent right sided facial pain - dentist thinks connected to reduced saliva production irritating parotid gland in cheek!! Both new problems are right sided....

I am not willing to take the risk of having any further zoladex injections (already stopped HRT c/o migraine headaches)...gynaecologist has suggested Mirena coil...I am worried about trying any hormonal treatments and potential side effects
