Elmiron Maculopathy Risk
Does Elmiron cause maculopathy? It’s a question many patients and doctors are asking based on alarming scientific research that suggests Elmiron causes eye damage, including maculopathy, pigmentary maculopathy, retinopathy, and scotoma.

Elmiron Maculopathy and Other Eye Damage Risk
In 2018, researchers first reported serious eye damage, including maculopathy, associated with long-term use of the bladder medication Elmiron.
In a follow-up study, researchers found that one-quarter of those taking Elmiron had serious eye damage, including maculopathy, pigmentary maculopathy, retinopathy, and scotoma. These injuries can result in serious long-term conditions such as full or partial blindness.
Symptoms of maculopathy or other eye damage caused by Elmiron include:
- Blurry vision
- Loss of vision
- “Floaters” in the field of vision
- Difficulty adjusting to low light environments
- Blind spots in the field of vision (scotoma)
- Distorted vision
- Dark areas in the field of vision
- Difficulty distinguishing colors
- Reduced visual sharpness
- Eye strain
- Eye pain
If you’ve experienced any of these symptoms of maculopathy or other eye damage potentially caused by Elmiron, talk with your doctor immediately and consider calling 1-800-525-7111 for a FREE, no-obligation consultation regarding a potential Elmiron claim.
