A 68-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer presented with slowly progressive visual loss in each eye. Electrophysiology confirmed bilateral optic neuropathies. Investigations to determine the cause of the vision loss were negative. Cessation of tamoxifen resulted in a dramatic improvement in acuity.
