Optic neuropathy associated with linezolid: systematic review of cases.

Conclusions: Optic neuropathy is a reversible complication related to the prolonged use of linezolid and regardless of the dose. We recommend follow- up in patients with long treatments (> 28 days) and ophthalmological exploration in those with visual alterations for the early diagnosis of neuropathy and early withdrawal of linezolid.
