A novel agent for myeloma causing toxic keratopathy, belantamab mafodotin: a case report and literature review.

A 60-year-old-male with refractory relapsed multiple myeloma presented with redness, pain, foreign body sensation, and blurred vision in both eyes that gradually increased after his third belantamab mafotodin infusion.
