Indapamide can cause temporary myopia and choroidal thickening. This condition resolves on its own after discontinuing the medication.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Indapamide is a diuretic commonly prescribed for hypertension.
  • Ocular side effects of indapamide are rare but can be serious.

Observation:

  • A case report detailing a patient experiencing acute transient myopia.
  • Symptoms included shallow anterior chamber and diffuse choroidal thickening.

Findings:

  • Myopia and choroidal changes resolved spontaneously within 8 days of indapamide cessation.
  • Fluorescein angiography revealed transient delayed choroidal filling, with no permanent damage.

Implications:

  • Highlights a potential ocular side effect of indapamide, specifically transient myopia.
  • Emphasizes the importance of considering medication side effects in cases of acute visual disturbances.
