Chlorpromazine-Induced Corneal Toxicity

Chlorpromazine-Induced Corneal Toxicity A 62-year-old schizophrenic patient on long-term chlorpromazine treatment presented with crystalline deposition on bilateral cornea in the posterior stroma and endothelium (Figure, A; arrow). Sclerotic scatter illumination demonstrates that the stromal deposits are more dense centrally and involving the visual axis (Figure, B). http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Archives of Ophthalmology American Medical Association
