Abstract
Alpha interferons have been used widely to treat chronic hepatitis C virus infection. A wide array of adverse effects of alpha interferon has been described. Ocular complications are infrequent. We report through two cases report the signs, the risk factors and the management of retinopathy associated with interferon therapy in patients with hepatitis C virus.
