This pioneering academic study highlighted a notable prevalence of DDI-induced retinal toxicity. Statistical analysis demonstrated age, BMI, and age at treatment initiation as potential risk factors. Ultra-widefield autofluorescence emerged as a valuable tool in detecting and delineating findings. Follow-up studies are needed to determine the necessity of regular screening for individuals on or with a history of didanosine use.
