Abstract

In the Federal Republic of Germany nearly 4 million patients receive cardiac glycosides. Intoxication rates of up to 20% have been reported. About 80% of digoxin-intoxicated patients show generalized color vision deficiencies. Ophthalmologists should pay more attention to color vision disturbances due to digitalis.
