    Author: Cortin P, Boudreault G, Rousseau AP, Tardif Y, Malenfant M.
    Journal: Can J Ophthalmol; 1984 Aug; 19(5):215-9. PubMed ID: 6434169.
    Abstract:
    A retrospective study of 14 cases of retinopathy due to canthaxanthine, a carotenoid recently used as a skin-tanning agent, revealed that several clinical factors were associated with an increased susceptibility to retinal deposits: focal epitheliopathy, ocular hypertension and, possibly, the concurrent use of beta-carotene. Age has already been established as such a factor.
