title: Drug toxicity and visual fields.
abstract: Many drugs used in the treatment of systemic pathologies may cause retinal or neurotoxic side effects which effect visual fields. This paper discusses the role of the drug history, personal health history, and testing procedures in evaluating these toxic visual fields. Specific drugs are cited which may cause toxic visual field defects.
