Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of antioxidant and vitamin supplements for treatment of phototoxic maculopathy. The results of antioxidant and vitamin supplements treatment applied to a 51-year-old male patient due to phototoxic maculopathy in his right eye after uneventful phacoemulsification surgery was evaluated. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography image was showed the severe ellipsoid zone disruption. Oral antioxidant and vitamin supplements was started for the patient. At the end of one year, visual acuity was reached 1.0 and ellipsoid zone damage improved significantly. Antioxidant and vitamin supplements may be useful for recovery of phototoxic maculopathy.
