Archivos de la Sociedad Española de Oftalmología 2018 August
INTRODUCTION: Canthaxanthin is a chemical product used to tan the skin. Its most frequent adverse effect is canthaxanthin retinopathy.
PURPOSE/ METHODS: Report, case series.
RESULTS: Two female patients, one 42 years-old and the other 72 years-old, with signs of retinopathy due to canthaxanthin. Complete ophthalmology examinations were carried out. The peripheral fovea birefringent deposits with internal retinal involvement were studied using multimodal imaging.
CONCLUSION: Canthaxanthin retinopathy is rare. Multimodal imaging may provide important data for the differential diagnosis of crystalline retinopathy.
