Abstract
Topiramate acetate is a commonly used drug prescribed by neurologists and psychiatrists for the treatment of various diseases including migraine. Topiramate therapy can cause a forward displacement of the iris-lens diaphragm which can result in acute bilateral angle-closure glaucoma and myopia. Common complaints include visual disturbances and eye pain. In this case report, we offered a patient who had a sudden loss of vision and severe eye pain due to acute myopia and angle-closure glaucoma after the use of topiramate for migraine. This case report aimed to increase awareness among neurologists, psychiatrists and ophthalmologists about the side effects that may occur with the use of topiramate.
