Elmiron can cause changes in the pigment in patient’s eyes called pigmentary maculopathy. This can result in problems reading, blurred vision, and difficulty adjusting to low light.
Em 2019, os Drs. Rachel M. Huckfeldt e Demetrios G. Vavvas publicaram um relato de caso em Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina de um paciente cuja condição ocular continuou a piorar 6 anos após a interrupção do medicamento.
Three ophthalmologists at Kaiser Permanente in Northern California conducted a review of patients. They found that about one-quarter of patients with significant exposure to Elmiron showed signs of eye damage.
