OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY FINDINGS IN PRESUMED VETERINARY ANTHELMINTIC DRUG-INDUCED RETINAL TOXICITY: A Glimpse into Underlying Mechanism.

Some veterinary anthelmintic drugs could be detrimental to the human retina if overdosed, resulting in visual disturbances. Optical coherence tomography revealed the mitochondria-enriched ellipsoid zone where outer retinal damage first appeared on, implying that these medications may harm the retina by inhibiting mitochondrial energy metabolism, as they do to eliminate parasites.
