To describe a case of transient bilateral vitreomacular traction syndrome associated with topical 1% pilocarpine ophthalmic solution in both eyes as a treatment for advanced glaucoma. OBSERVATIONS: Spectral-domain OCT demonstrated bilateral vitreomacular traction syndrome after initiation of topical 1% pilocarpine solution in both eyes for advanced glaucoma. Follow-up imaging revealed the resolution of vitreomacular traction after cessation of the drug without a complete posterior vitreous detachment. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: In the advent of new pilocarpine formulations, this case raises the concern of vitreomacular traction syndrome as a serious potential sequela of long-term topical pilocarpine use.
