Eye problems including cataract with aromatase inhibitor

Does anyone know anything about an increased risk of cataracts with aromatase inhibitors? I was on Letrozole for two years and have now completed a year on Anastrozole. I am 64 and have just been told I have a cataract forming on one eye. My mother and my aunt had cataracts but not until well into their 70s. Digging around I have found an old reference 2012 to increased risk but nothing else…
