  • Title: Ocular findings in the intravenous drug abuser.
    Author: Lederer CM, Sabates FN.
    Journal: Ann Ophthalmol; 1982 May; 14(5):436-8. PubMed ID: 6180671.
    Abstract:
    Two patients with talc emboli of the retinal vasculature, both of them intravenous drug abusers, are described. One underwent a pars plana vitrectomy for removal of the vascularized vitreous mass that obscured the retina. The vitreous mass was presumably a result of retinal neovascularization secondary to the talc embolic. Other ocular findings that may be observed in the intravenous drug abuser are described.
