We report a case of bilateral painless progressive loss of vision associated with prolonged linezolid use. A 22 year old male patient with extensive drug resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB), who was on treatment with multiple second line anti-tubercular drugs including linezolid for the past 3 months started developing progressive painless loss of vision in both the eyes over a period of 10days. Discontinuation of linezolid resulted in complete resolution of visual symptoms within a month. Our report emphasizes the need for monitoring of visual function in patients on long-term linezolid treatment.
