    Abstract:
    Imatinib is presently the commonest prescribes drug for patients of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in chronic phase (CP) worldwide. Its ocular side effects are little known. Optic neuritis caused by this drug has not been reported (Medline search). We describe perhaps the first case of optic neuritis caused by this drug.
