title: Drug-induced myopia, hyperopia and accommodation disorders.
abstract: Myopia, hyperopia and accommodation disorders are common refractive disorders, usually due to anatomical abnormalities or to physiological aging. They can also be functional, however, particularly when provoked by drugs. Drug-induced refractive disorders resolve after treatment cessation. All drugs acting on the autonomic nervous system can affect vision. Other drugs have unpredictable effects: the mechanism is not always known but sometimes appears to involve changes in the hydration of various ocular structures.
