ABSTRACT: This paper is partly a case report and partly a research investigation. It describes a case of injury to a patient who was being treated with a combination of doxycycline and amoxicillin as a consequence of working in daylight in summer 2017. The injury manifested as a cataract to his exposed left eye, while his right eye, which was covered by a bandage that also covered parts of his face, was healthy. Subsequently, similar effects were observed in the laboratory in albino rabbits subjected to conditions simulating those described by the patient. Additional investigations and observations of possible injuries to the eyes resulting from the combination of photosensitizing substances and sunlight should be performed.
