[Ocular manifestations in porphyria cutanea tarda].
Ninety two patients suffering from porphyria cutanea tarda were examined ophthalmologically in a paired case-control study. The incidence of pinguecula and that of pterygium were 8 times and 2 times higher, respectively, in PCT patients that in the control group. The photodamage of the conjunctiva is presumed to be a result of the photoactivity of uroporphyrin in the tissues.
