Abstract
Often unknown, the ocular side effects induced by antidepressants are rare but can however be severe with risk of compromising the functional prognosis of the eye. We report in this article, the case of two patients who presented an ocular toxicity induced by antidepressants, then we will support the pathophysiological mechanisms of occurrence of these ophthalmological effects as well as the importance of the multidisciplinary therapeutic component of induced ocular toxicities. At the end of this article, and aimed at prevention, we will discuss the interest of taking into consideration the risk of occurrence of ophthalmological damage when prescribing antidepressants.
