Abstract
Psoralen photoproducts were identified in association with cataracts in a psoriatic patient several years after oral methoxsalen plus ultraviolet A light (PUVA) therapy. Patients should be required to wear adequate optical protection not only during PUVA therapy but 24 hours following ingestion of methoxsalen.
