Abstract

Cordarone keratopathy corresponds to medically induced corneal changes developing with time in a majority of patients against the background of systemic cordarone (amiodarone) therapy. This condition does threaten by substantial visual function decrease and does not demand medication withdrawal. Similar intraepithelial corneal inclusions may be found in treatment by several other medications, as well as in Fabry disease. This is to be reminded when considering differential diagnosis.
