Sažetak

Retinoids are compounds chemically related to vitamin A, which are frequently used in dermatological practice (1). They are characterized by numerous mechanisms of action leading to normalization of keratinocyte proliferation and maturation. They have anti-seborrhoeic, immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects (1, 2). A number of side- effects to retinoid treatment have been recorded; one group of such side-effects relates to eyes and vision. Dry eye syndrome and blepharoconjunctivitis are the most common side-effects, appearing in 20–50 % of patients treated with retinoids (14). They often contribute to the occurrence of other side-effects such as eye discomfort and contact lens intolerance. Due to widespread use in clinical practice, the adverse effects, including ocular side effects, should be studied. To confirm the variety of adverse effects of retinoids, several case reports of rare side-effects are presented.
