Acute transient myopia induced by indapamide.
OBJECTIVE
To report on a case of acute transient myopia associated with ciliochoroidal detachment induced by indapamide.


METHODS
Case report. Clinical examination, ultrasonography, and fluorescein angiography were performed during the acute phase of disease and convalescence.


RESULTS
After indapamide was discontinued, acute bilateral myopia, which was associated with anterior chamber shallowing and diffuse choroidal thickening, resolved spontaneously 8 days after onset. The initial angiography showed scattered islands of delayed fluorescein filling that disappeared without any permanent change by day 30.


CONCLUSIONS
Indapamide can induce spontaneously resolving transient myopia associated with diffuse choroidal thickening.
