Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to investigate possible toxic effects of Dienogest treatment on visual pathway among endometriosis patients using visual evoked potential (VEP) measurements.

Patients and Methods: A total of 26 eyes from 13 females aged between 25 and 42 years who received Dienogest for the treatment of endometriosis were included as the case group. VEP measurements were taken from the case group and compared with results from 26 eyes of 13 healthy females with no history of Dienogest use, who served as the control group.

Results: There were no significant differences between the case and control groups in terms of the latency and amplitude of the VEP P100 peak.

Conclusion: Dienogest does not affect the visual pathway in patients, as demonstrated by visual evoked potential measurements.
