In reply to lamictal and binding to melanin in eyes.., posted by Tendency on August 6, 2004, at 16:46:05

I saw this when I read through the prescribing information when I was first prescribed. I mentioned it to my ophthalmalogist, and he said he didn't see how that would cause any real problems. Of course I'm not sure I think very highly of this ophthalmologist.... but it may be something we just don't have enough information about yet. Anyone else have more info?

> Anyone heard of this before? Comments? Thanks.
