Abstract
Many pharmacologic agents have the ability to alter a patient's sensitivity to solar or artificial radiation. Drugs act as photosensitizers that lead to photochemical damage. Amiodarone has been reported to have such photosensitizing properties in humans. This report describes a case of retinal phototoxicity from intraoperative light exposure photosensitized by systemic amiodarone use.
