Shreshth Khanna*, Suchita Pant and Harsh Khanna

Toxic Optic Neuropathy (TON) is one of the important causes of bilateral vision loss, decreased color vision and decreased visual acuity. There are several drugs implicated in causing toxic optic neuropathy. We report a case of linezolid induced optic neuropathy in a 45 years old extensively drug resistant pulmonary tuberculosis patient.
