Management of Mydriasis in Patients Receiving Antidepressants

Patient Monitoring and Care

• For patients with both mydriasis and angle-closure concerns, careful monitoring of intraocular pressure and pupil size is recommended when starting any antidepressant 1
• Patients with a history of narrow angles or glaucoma require particular caution when prescribing any psychotropic medication 1
• Monitor for signs of angle-closure glaucoma, including eye pain, blurred vision, and halos around lights 1
