Hi Marsha: Here is a link from this site that explains the *possible* ocular side effects.
Talk to your Dr. about any eye problem, if you have one, and determine with their help if this is a medication that you can take. One side effect that I couldn't find in the above link that is mentioned on the Actonel web site is inflammation of the eye.
Good Luck with your decision and I hope this helps some.
Pam
