title: The national registry of drug-induced ocular side effects.
abstract: The National Registry of Drug-induced Ocular Side Effects is an international information centre for ocular toxicology. The Registry collects case reports of drug-induced ocular side effects from physicians and other national registries, and surveys the world literature for drug-related ocular events. Possible adverse drug associations can be identified in this system, and cause-and-effect relationships may on occasion be proven. Functions of this Registry include increasing ophthalmic awareness of human ocular toxicology, and promoting continuation of contributions to decrease the delay between recognition of a possible adverse drug reaction and the actual reporting of it in the literature.
