- Abstract
Hepatitis C virus and interferon treatment have been associated with retinopathy. Baseline and ongoing assessment by ophthalmologists have therefore been advocated in previous studies. Our experience suggests that the incidence is low, with no or negligible impact of pegylated interferon alpha on actual visual function. This study was conducted to determine whether ophthalmic assessment is necessary in such patients.
