Association between serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors and acute angle closure: What is known?
Survey of Ophthalmology 2019 March
Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors are widely used antidepressants with a relatively safe profile. One of the complications associated with this group of drugs is acute angle closure. The mechanisms linking serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors and acute angle closure are complex and may be interlinked with the effects of the drug on the inhibition of serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake, as well as pseudo-anticholinergic effects, dopaminergic effects, and idiosyncratic reactions with the drug molecule in the eye. Individual characteristics, such as polymorphisms of the gene encoding the 2D6 subunit of cytochrome P450, may affect the metabolism of the serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, whereas the combination with other drugs may lead to an increased risk of iridocorneal angle closure and may further exacerbate other mechanisms. Improved knowledge of the mechanisms linking serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors and acute angle closure and of the risk factors predisposing to patients to acute angle closure will reduce the number of patients affected by this dangerous complication.
