ABSTRACT
Interferon is an immunomodulating cytokine which is used to treat different diseases. Nowadays it is being commonly used for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C. Few patients develop ocular complications secondary to the use of Interferon. We report here a case in which a young soldier with no other risk factors developed retinopathy changes after five months of interferon alpha 2b therapy which included cotton wool spots at the posterior pole and dot-blot haemorrhages in both fundi. These changes gradually started resolving after cessation of treatment and completely disappeared after six months
