Abstract
Methamphetamine is one of the most addictive drugs and its usage has spread all over the world in recent decades. Methamphetamine abuse causes mental and physical problems such as psychosis and stroke and also can cause perpetual and temporal ocular diseases like episcleritis, scleritis, retinopathy, retinal vasculitis, endophthalmitis and panophthalmitis. A few cases of ocular involvement caused by amphetamines abuse have been reported. Here we present a case of retinopathy caused by inhaling methamphetamine in a 46 years old male.
