Retinal Toxicity of Anticancer Drugs: A Case Series

Introduction

According to the Swiss Cancer Report, in 2021, 26 000 men and 22 000 women were diagnosed with cancer, and these numbers are estimated to increase [1]. With the advent of molecularly targeted agents, significant advancements have been made in cancer treatment, transforming patient outcomes [2]. However, immunotherapies can introduce distinct ocular side effects, whose interest is rapidly growing in ophthalmology, as they need to be recognised because they can lead to permanent vision deterioration or can be potentially blinding [2].

The aim of this case series is to report known and unknown presentations of retinal toxicities associated with anticancer agents to help prompt identification by ophthalmologists.
