Purpose: To report a case of bilateral secondary angle closure in a female using mirtazapine for 6 months. Patient and method: A 55-year-old female was diagnosed with secondary angle closure in both eyes with raised intraocular pressure, and ultrasound biomicroscopic findings suggestive of ciliary body effusion. It was associated with adjoining cyst presumably because of the use of mirtazapine for depression and sleep disturbances. Results: After the planned discontinuation of mirtazapine, the ocular angle opened, the ciliary body edema decreased, and the cyst regressed in size. The intraocular pressure was controlled with topical timolol (0.5%). Conclusion: Patients with risk factors for angle closure should be prescribed antipsychotic drugs with caution. The peripheral laser iridotomy is not indicated in secondary angle closure due to ciliary body effusion.
