“…While hydrochlorothiazide has been linked to bilateral angle closure in an idiosyncratic manner on initial usage2 and also after prolonged usage,3 the association with hyponatraemia is novel.…”

SUMMARYWe report a case of a 67-year-old woman presenting with bilateral acute angle closure. On investigation, she was found to have bilateral ciliary effusions and profound hyponatraemia. Her effusions resolved with the cessation of hydrochlorothiazide and normalisation of her blood sodium levels by fluid restriction. This case displays a novel association of hyponatraemia as a possible mechanism for the development of bilateral acute angle closure. BACKGROUND

“…4 There is a wide variation in the techniques used to administer peribulbar anaesthesia. [4][5][6][7] The majority of the previously reported cases of globe perforation have given no details of the precise technique used for administering the peribulbar injections. Over an 8-month period a cluster of cases of globe perforation were referred to the vitreo-retinal service at a British Teaching Hospital.…”

“…Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) is a first-line diuretic drug of the thiazide class that acts by lowering peripheral vascular resistance and inhibiting the ability of the kidneys to retain water [4]. HCTZ is a sulfa derivative and has been reported to provoke acute myopic shift and bilateral acute angle closure glaucoma [5]. We are unaware of any previous reports of HCTZ-induced acute myopic shift and intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation in Korea.…”

The authors experienced two cases of hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ)-induced acute-onset bilateral myopia and shallowing of the anterior chambers. Two middle-aged women taking HCTZ, a sulfa derivative, visited our clinic complaining of acute bilateral visual deterioration. Both had good visual acuity without corrective lenses before taking HCTZ. A complete ophthalmologic examination revealed bilateral myopic shift, intraocular pressure elevation, shallowing of the anterior chambers, choroidal effusions, radiating retinal folds, and conjunctival chemosis. Approximately one week after HCTZ discontinuance, all ocular changes disappeared completely. Physicians should be aware of the adverse ocular effects of HCTZ and should manage patients accordingly.
