Two patients undergoing long-term treatment with linezolid for pneumonia had decreased visual acuity, dyschromatopsia, and cecocentral scotomas characteristic of toxic optic neuropathy. Visual function slowly recovered 3 to 4 months after discontinuation of the antibiotic treatment in both patients. Toxic optic neuropathy may occur from linezolid. Early withdrawal of the antibiotic may be associated with visual recovery.

Closure of the DCR incision with cyanoacrylate is safe, quick, does not compromise wound integrity, and provides an aesthetic result that is equivalent to suture wound closure. Additional benefits could potentially include safer operative environment and postoperative convenience for patient and surgeon.
