Visual Recovery in a Case of Drug Induced Optic Neuropathy with No Clinical Signs and Unusual Symptoms - A Case Report

Many drugs have been associated with optic nerve disease. (1) Ethambutol is one of the routinely used anti tubercular first line drug, a study found that Ethambutol optic neuropathy is not always reversible, especially, in older populations. (2) We present this case report of a 19-year-old male who presented with vague complains of photopsia and loss of sharpness of edges and mild pain on eye movement on medial side.

Abstract

Many drugs have been associated with optic nerve disease. (1) Ethambutol is one of the routinely used anti tubercular first line drug, a study found that Ethambutol optic neuropathy is not always reversible, especially, in older populations. (2) We present this case report of a 19-year-old male who presented with vague complains of photopsia and loss of sharpness of edges and mild pain on eye movement on medial side.
