  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 52-year-old female started treatment with systemic amiodarone at the daily dosis of 200 mg for tachycardia following coronary infarction. Typical vortex-pattern keratopathy developed in both eyes after 14 months of treatment. The subepithelial corneal pigmentation persisted with minor fluctuations. No abnor-malities developed in the corneal surface. There was no visual disturbance until death of the patient after 29 months of treatment. The corneal opacity in this patient simulated the interference pattern of tear film in dry eye patients. There is a possibility that pigments in amiodarone keratopathy are derived via the tear fluid.
