Bilateral angle closure glaucoma induced by sulphonamide‐derived medications

The proposed mechanism of angle closure glaucoma induced by sulphonamide medication involves an idiosyncratic reaction in the uveal tissues to these systemic drugs that is associated with expansion of the extracellular tissue of the ciliary body and choroid. Management identification of sulphonamide-derived medications and immediate cessation of suspected sulphonamide-derived medication, refraction and ultrasound B scan or ultrasound biomicroscopy may aid in the proper diagnosis and can also be helpful for confirmation.
