Amiodarone ocular toxicity

ABSTRACT

Complications of amiodarone therapy have been reported in different structures of the eye such as the lids, adnexa, cornea and lens. In a few cases, the optic disc has been affected. These usually have a unilateral effect. We present a rare case of amiodarone therapy with bilateral disc edema, and flame-shaped hemorrhages with classic amiodarone keratopathy [cornea verticillata]. Only a few cases have been reported of Amiodarone toxicity to the optic disc
