Can pituitary tumors cause cataracts?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Cataract: There is no clear association between pituitary tumor and cataract formation. A pituitary tumor may affect several hormone levels, which may in turn have adverse effects on different areas of the body.

Other vision issues: Pituitary tumors are not associated with cataracts. They can cause vision changes if they press on the optic pathways, classically causing decreases in the peripheral vision of both eyes.
