Unilateral amiodarone keratopathy

Abstract
Vortex keratopathy is characterized by bilateral symmetrical superficial corneal deposits in a vortex pattern. It is the most common ocular finding among patients being treated with amiodarone. An unusual case of unilateral amiodarone vortex keratopathy in an elderly woman with corneal dysplasia in the second eye is presented. The pathophysiology of amiodarone keratopathy is explored, and a cause for the unilateral keratopathy in this patient proposed.
