B
Reduced visual acuity, increased brightness, altered color perception, and photophobia are re-versible visual disturbances that can occur in 30 of patients receiving voriconazole. These usually begin within 30 minutes of dosing and then diminish over the next 30 minutes. They are not precursors to other effects, such as hallucinations. They do not indicate CNS toxicity. They are reversible.
