Retrospective study of visual acuity changes in patients with interstitial cystitis receiving pentosan polysulfate sodium

Key Points

• The aim is to analyze the effects of pentosan polysulfate sodium (PPS) on visual acuity (VA) in interstitial cystitis (IC) patients.
• Conducted a matched cohort analysis over 36 months of follow-up.
• Compared visual acuity progression in IC patients exposed to PPS vs. those not exposed.
• Analyzed changes in visual acuity using standardized measures.
• No evidence found that PPS exposure affected visual acuity progression in IC patients.
• Visual acuity changes were similar between both exposed and non-exposed groups.
