Abstract
We report the occurrence of bilateral cataracts in a young adult which developed shortly after documented high serum levels of phenytoin. There are two previous reports (five patients) in the literature implicating this drug as a cause of cataract formation in humans. This is the first case in which toxic levels were measured.
