Abstract

Introduction: Psychotropic agents may frequently be associated with ocular adverse effects, which include angle-closure glaucoma. We report a case of pseudoexfoliation glaucoma in which intraocular pressure (IOP) increased within hours after carbamazepine and gabapentin intake, with no observable evidence of any angle closure.
