Why the study?
Does chronic oral amiodarone induce ocular effects such as corneal deposits in healthy dogs?
Does chronic oral amiodarone induce ocular effects such as corneal deposits in healthy dogs?
Chronic oral amiodarone induces corneal microdeposits in a small percentage of healthy dogs, demonstrating a lower prevalence than in humans, which may be influenced by environmental factors like sunlight exposure.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May warrant ocular monitoring in amiodarone-treated dogs; hypothesis-generating for species differences versus human corneal toxicity.
Bicer et al. (2002) studied this question.
