This review offers a summary of the current knowledge of pshychotropic drugs and glaucoma. If exposed to psychotropic drugs, some patients may develop angle-closure glaucoma. Although rarely contraindicated, exposed predisposed and diagnosed patients should be followed-up by an ophthalmologist. It is still unclear if serotonin reuptake inhibitors increase the risk of angle-closure glaucoma. Tricyclic antidepressants and benzodiazepines should be used with caution in predisposed patients. The same applies to antipsychotic drugs, where first-generation antipsychotic drugs might have a smaller impact on the intraocular pressure than second-generation antipsychotic drugs.
