- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 59-year-old male with a posterior subcapsular cataract in association with fludrocortisone acetate therapy used for treating postural hypotension secondary to antidepressant therapy. He experienced deterioration of vision in his right eye with loss of acuity, four months after fludrocortisone therapy. A discussion on the prevalence, risk and formation of posterior subcapsular cataract is given.
