Abstract
PURPOSE: We treated a case of transient myopia in a patient being treated with hydrochlorothiazide and triamterene for tinnitus. METHODS: The patient underwent gonioscopic, ophthalmoscopic, and echographic examinations. RESULTS: Examination showed anterior chamber flattening and echography disclosed bilateral 360-degree shallow choroidal detachments. CONCLUSION: All of the patient's symptoms and signs resolved after the cessation of drug therapy.
