Hi, I am Minella from India. My brother is suffering from a skin disorder called PLC. He has been prescribed melanocyl tablets followed by sun exposure for ten minutes post 2 hrs of consuming the pills. The dermat has advised us to conduct an eye test after a month before the next visit. Am a little concerned regarding this, as I checked on the internet that it might cause changes in vision. Can you please help me on this
Hi, Yes, it may cause changes in vision. The most common side effects of melanocyte include itching and skin redness. However sometimes it may also cause premature cataract and macular or retinal toxicity resulting in vision changes. This side effect can be prevented by using ultraviolet filtering glasses during treatment. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
