Topiramate is an antiepileptic agent with its increasing usage in vascular headache cases. The adverse effects associated with its usage are non-ocular like oligohydrosis and hyperthermia, which are potentially life threatening, and ocular side effects like abnormal vision, acute secondary-angle closure glaucoma, nystagmus and diplopia. Failure to act at the first sign of some of the ocular side effects can lead to permanent visual problems. Here we report a case series of three patients presenting to a tertiary care hospital with bilateral acute myopia with precipitation of acute angle closure. The poster will depict the presentation, documentation and treatment outcome.
