Exogenously induced retinopathies

Thieme. All rights reserved..

Exogenously induced retinopathies can be caused by consumation of stimulating substances, systemic or ocular medications, vaccinations, light or irradiation. Some of the effects are transient, whereas other effects induce irreversible toxic reactions. Retinal damage may develop either acutely with obvious relation to the damaging cause, but often may take a long duration of repeated use of a substance or medication. External stimulants (e.g. nicotine, alcohol, poppers, methanol) are the most frequent cause of exogenously induced retinal damage. Side effects from systemic drugs (e.g. hydroxychloroquine, ethambutol, MEK-, ERK-, FLT3-, checkpoint inhibitors, didanosin, pentosanpolysulfat sodium) or intravitreally applied drugs (e.g. antibiotics, VEGF-inhibitors) are less frequent. Ocular side effects associated with vaccinations are rare. Ambient light sources induce no damaging effects on the retina. Incorrect use of technical or medical light sources (e.g. laser pointers) without adherence to safety recommendations or unshielded observation of the sun might induce permanent retinal damage. Local or external irradiation might induce retinal vascular damage resulting in radiation retinopathy.
