A double-masked study was performed to investigate a possible side effect of the antiallergic substance Picumast dihydrochloride on lens transparency. 372 patients with Picumast dihydrochloride- or Ketotifen-treatment regularly underwent ophthalmologic examinations and Scheimpflug photography of the anterior eye segment. Results of slitlamp examinations as well as microdensitometric analyzes of the film negatives after one year treatment did not reveal any evidence that Picumast dihydrochloride compromised lens transparency in humans.

D007665 Ketotifen A cycloheptathiophene blocker of histamine H1 receptors and release of inflammatory mediators. It has been proposed for the treatment of asthma, rhinitis, skin allergies, and anaphylaxis. 4,9-Dihydro-4-(1-methyl-4-piperidylidene)-10H-benzo(4,5)-cyclohepta(1,2-b)thiophen-10-one,Ketotifen Fumarate,Ketotifene,Ketotiphen,Ketotiphene,Zaditen,Fumarate, Ketotifen
D007908 Lens, Crystalline A transparent, biconvex structure of the EYE, enclosed in a capsule and situated behind the IRIS and in front of the vitreous humor (VITREOUS BODY). It is slightly overlapped at its margin by the ciliary processes. Adaptation by the CILIARY BODY is crucial for OCULAR ACCOMMODATION. Eye Lens,Lens, Eye,Crystalline Lens
D010781 Photography Method of making images on a sensitized surface by exposure to light or other radiant energy. Photographies
D002386 Cataract Partial or complete opacity on or in the lens or capsule of one or both eyes, impairing vision or causing blindness. The many kinds of cataract are classified by their morphology (size, shape, location) or etiology (cause and time of occurrence).

D006634 Histamine H1 Antagonists Drugs that selectively bind to but do not activate histamine H1 receptors, thereby blocking the actions of endogenous histamine. Included here are the classical antihistaminics that antagonize or prevent the action of histamine mainly in immediate hypersensitivity. They act in the bronchi, capillaries, and some other smooth muscles, and are used to prevent or allay motion sickness, seasonal rhinitis, and allergic dermatitis and to induce somnolence. The effects of blocking central nervous system H1 receptors are not as well understood.
