    Author: Weber U, Goerz G.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1986 Jan; 188(1):20-2. PubMed ID: 3959472.
    Abstract:
    Twenty-five patients (erythropoietic protoporphyria 23, polymorphous light eruption 1, "cosmetics" 1) were re-examined 2-10 months after therapy with beta-carotene and canthaxanthine was discontinued. Dark adaptation and ERG parameters had normalized, whereas crystalline retinopathy and pigment epithelial defects showed no signs of reversibility.
