Abstract
Discoloration of the cornea, sclera and lens was observed for the first time in newborn rats as a complication of intramuscular use of tetracycline in pregnancy. Fluorescence microscopic examination with UV light revealed tetracycline deposits located mostly in the corneal epithelium, Descement’s membrane, lens capsule, cortex and nucleus.Keywords
