Abstract
We describe a case of Linezolid-induced severe toxic optic neuropathy in a patient with drug-resistant tuberculosis. Linezolid produced severe toxic optic neuropathy in some who used it for a long time. To the best of our knowledge, the optic neuropathy was completely reversed after omitting Linezolid which is one of the effective drug regimens in his prescription, with significant improvements in eye vision.
