To report optical coherence tomography findings of presumed veterinary anthelmintic drugs (VADs)-induced retinal toxicity that may aid in understanding potential pathogenic mechanisms.This is a retrospective observational case series analysis of patients with vision abnormalities following the accidental or intentional consumption of veterinary anthelmintic drugs. All cases underwent a thorough ophthalmological examination. Moreover, medical records, as well as the initial and follow-up optical coherence tomography images, were thoroughly scrutinized.Four patients were identified (3 men; mean [range] age, 36.5 [22-52] years). Each patient overdosed on one or two of the following VADs: closantel, triclabendazole, praziquantel, pyrantel pamoate, and niclofolan. The most characteristic optical coherence tomography finding was diffuse, granular, hyperreflective lesions throughout the outer retina, which were initially identified in the ellipsoid zone in two cases. At follow-up, optical coherence tomography exhibited regression of hyperreflective lesions and extensive loss of the outer retinal elements in two patients. In addition, the subfoveal outer retinal layers may be partially preserved.Some veterinary anthelmintic drugs could be detrimental to the human retina if overdosed, resulting in visual disturbances. Optical coherence tomography revealed the mitochondria-enriched ellipsoid zone where outer retinal damage first appeared on, implying that these medications may harm the retina by inhibiting mitochondrial energy metabolism, as they do to eliminate parasites.
