Dr.VINITHA L RASHME
36-year-old male presented with complaints of sudden loss of vision in both eyes for 2 days. Five days earlier he was treated with oral antibiotics for fever. His visual acuity in both eyes was perception of light with accurate projection of rays. Slit lamp examination showed diffuse congestion with corneal edema and severe pigment dispersion on the cornea and raised digital tension. B scan showed normal posterior segment. UBM revealed medial and temporal iris cysts. We came to know he was taking oral moxifloxacin for fever. So this is a case of acute iris depigmentation following systemic moxifloxacin. Patient was started on inj. Dexamethasone, tablet. Prednisolone, eye drops Difluprednate and eye drops Timolol. At follow up his visual acuity were 6/6 in both eyes with clear cornea and iris atrophy. We are reporting this case for its rarity and to increase awareness of this entity.
