A premature baby girl was born with severe eye malformations—small eyes (microphthalmos), cartilage inside the eye, cataract, persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous, and retinal dysplasia. The mother had taken LSD during the first three months of pregnancy. This is the third reported case linking maternal LSD use to eye defects in the baby. More cases are needed to confirm whether LSD actually causes these malformations.
