At the control visit she was experiencing blurred vision because of bilateral pigmented cells at anterior chamber. Also she had diffuse punctuate transillumination of irises bilaterally. She was prescribed prednisolone and tropicamide containing eye drops. At the tenth day of this treatment she had irregular middilated pupils, intraocular pressure increase in the left eye and heavily pigmented iridocorneal angles. Tropicamide was discontinued and antiglaucomatous treatment was started. One week later introcular pressure was normal, pupils are atonic bilaterally. She had a slight posterior subcapsular cataract and iridocorneal angle pigmentation was remained. Keywords : Moxifloxacin, atonic pupils, bilateral acute iris transillumination
