Clomiphene Visual Disturbance

Meaning

Clomiphene Visual Disturbance refers to a specific spectrum of ocular side effects, ranging from transient blurred vision and flashes of light (scintillating scotomas) to more serious, though exceedingly rare, persistent visual impairments, associated with the therapeutic use of the fertility drug clomiphene citrate. This adverse effect is a clinically significant consideration during the course of treatment, demanding prompt patient education and consistent ophthalmic monitoring. The disturbance highlights the systemic reach of hormonal agents and their potential impact on non-reproductive tissues like the retina.
