Toxins may affect all parts of the eye. Topical substances tend to have more local effects in the eyelids, conjunctiva, and cornea, whereas systemic drugs often have diffuse effects in several parts of the eye. Some drugs have more specific effects on a particular ocular structure. Most of the drugs that cause ocular toxicity cause some degree of visual dysfunction. Many visual disturbances have been reported and are beyond the scope of this review.
