Abstract
Canthaxanthine, a non-provitamin A carotenoid, has been marketed in Canada since March 1979 as a skin-tanning agent. Fifty-one individuals who ingested from 3.6 to 66 g of the drug within a 24-month period were ophthalmologically evaluated. Six of them had deposits in the ocular fundus that appeared to be related to ingestion of the substance, but no functional impairment could be detected.
