In February 2020, an article was published on the National Institute of Health’s website titled, “Possible drug-induced, vision-threatening maculopathy secondary to chronic pentosan polysulfate sodium (Elmiron®) exposure”. The authors recommend ophthalmic screening in any PPS-exposed patient with any vision complaints for evidence of this maculopathy.
