We present the case of a 27-year-old female patient who developed bilateral ciliary body edema with secondary glaucoma and myopic shift during systemic treatment with cyclosporine for aplastic anemia. After application of topical atropine and prednisolone acetate and conversion from cyclosporine to tacrolimus, the ophthalmologic symptoms resolved completely. Since an infectious etiology was not evident, we hypothesize that ciliary body edema was caused by impairment of microvascular integrity by cyclosporine.
