Elmiron lawyers have uncovered substantial evidence that long-term Elmiron consumption leads to pigmentary maculopathy. This is an injury of the macula. (The macula is the retina's center.) Macular injury can cause vision loss. And total blindness. In 2018, the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) published an article. It discussed six Emory Eye Center patients from 2015 to 2017. They had taken Elmiron for bladder problems. And they developed pigmentary maculopathy. The following year, AAO published an update. More Emory Eye Center patients on Elmiron developed the eye condition. Three common symptoms of pigmentary maculopathy include: 1) Darkened spots on the retina. 2) Yellow, round lesions under the macula. 3) Abnormal capillaries and blood vessels.
