Early and correct diagnosis is very important, because induced myopia may be accompanied by acute angle-closure glaucoma or supraciliary choroidal effusion. The only correct treatment in this case is discontinuation of the drug. Key words: acute angle-closure glaucoma, acute myopia, antidepressants, side effects, trazodone.
