Persistent photopsia following course of oral voriconazole.
CONCLUSIONS
A 56-year-old woman presented with photopsia and color changes in the left eye that had been present since starting voriconazole treatment 5 months earlier. The patient was seen in ophthalmologic follow-up 7 and 20 months after discontinuation of voriconazole with persistent visual complaints, including photopsia and "additional sources of light" in her left eye.


OBJECTIVE
To describe a case of persistent photopsia following course of oral voriconazole.


METHODS
The medical records of a patient with voriconazole treatment and persistent photopsia were reviewed.


RESULTS
Persistent photopsia and visual complaints were noted 20 months after discontinuation of voriconazole.


CONCLUSIONS
In light of increasing use of voriconazole to combat fungal infections, voriconazole-related photopsia may persist in certain patients.
