Abstract:
Two patients gazed at the bright light of a video camera. Both patients had been taking triazolam. Decreased visual acuity and macular lesions were found in the affected eyes of the patients. The maculopathy in 1 patient (case 1) was irreversible, but that in case 2 recovered. Photic maculopathy from the light of a video camera may be rare.
