A research paper titled "Systemic Drugs Associated With Maculopathy" by Kim et al., published in JAMA Ophthalmology. It discusses drug-related macular toxic effects and their early identification for vision preservation.

Apixaban, paclitaxel, ibrutinib, and sildenafil use is associated with elevated rates of #maculopathy, with incidence estimates up to 15.7% and dose-dependent risk for some agents.
