Associations between drug therapy and development of lenticular changes have been documented in the literature. Drugs most frequently implicated include corticosteroids, phenothiazines, miotics, gold, amiodarone, and allopurinol. The reported clinical observations on these agents are described, and similarities and differences between these drugs in regard to location of opacities and possible pathogenesis are discussed.
