Amiodarone Verticillata (Photo)

Last updated November 16, 2007

amiodarone verticillata
This photo shows a cornea with whorl deposits on the surface. This is called verticillata, and can be seen with the use of medications like amiodarone.

To get a better idea how this looks (it’s a subtle finding that’s not easy to photograph) you may want to watch our verticillata video from which this snapshot was captured.
