Help - Ocular side effects of methotrexate

[eyedesire]

I was wondering if anyone knows the ocular side effects of methotrexate or have seen anyone presenting side effects? As far as I know, there is a rare side effect of NAION and dry eyes, but the AOA has a clinical reference guide that says to screen with amsler grid, color vision but I cannot find any information linking methotrexate to macular issues.

Does anyone know?

This is the AOA link btw: http://www.aoa.org/Documents/optome...g-ocular-toxicity-of-selected-medications.pdf

TIA

The main thing you need to check for is generalized retinopathy.
