Episodic Angle Closure after Visian™ Implantable Collamer Lens Implantation in a Patient Using Adderall^®.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Amphetamine-based medications such as Adderall^®, used for the treatment of attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), may theoretically elicit angle closure through their adrenergic mechanisms. The relationship between the use of implantable collamer lenses (ICLs) and angle closure has been extensively investigated based on appropriate vault and lens sizing and postoperative changes in the anterior chamber angle (ACA) and corneal morphology. This case reflects a synergistic impact from both Adderall^® use and ICL implantation for the proposed mechanism of angle closure.

Case presentation

A 36-year-old myopic female with ADHD controlled with Adderall^® underwent toric ICL implantation in the right eye after undergoing preopera
