    Abstract:
    The fact that corticosteroids, phenothiazines and myotics induce cataract is well known. Moreover some informations about lens opacities have been reported less frequently after the use of cytostatics, deferoxamine, phenytoine, isotretinoine, oral contraceptives, allopurinol, synthetics antimalarial agents, diazepam, tetracyclines and sulfamides. Occasionally some others drugs have been suspected from experimental observations to produce cataract. Amongst all these drugs, corticosteroids are the most often incriminated.
