Mu C, Chen L. Characteristics of eye disorders induced by atypical antipsychotics: a real-world study from 2016 to 2022 based on Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System. Front Psychiatry 2024; 15:1322939. [PMID: 39156610 PMCID: PMC11327930 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2024.1322939] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 08/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Common atypical antipsychotics include risperidone, paliperidone, olanzapine, lurasidone, quetiapine, clozapine, aripiprazole, ziprasidone, asenapine, brexpiprazole, and cariprazine. Previous studies on ocular adverse reactions of antipsychotics were mainly focused on typical antipsychotics. Systematic research on atypical antipsychotics remains limited. Objective This study aimed to evaluate the potential risks of different atypical antipsychotics causing ocular side effects by mining the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. Methods Extract reports from the FAERS from the first quarter of 2016 to the fourth quarter of 2022 were obtained. Data mining of eye disorders associated with atypical antipsychotics was carried out using The Reporting Odds Ratio (ROR) method and The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) method to determine positive signals. Results FAERS reports for 9913783 cases were included in these 28 quarters. 64 defined ocular adverse events were classified into 10 categories according to High-Level Group Terms (HLGT). Conclusions There were differences in the types and severity of ocular-related adverse events associated with atypical antipsychotics. Ocular neuromuscular-related adverse events were found among all 11 atypical antipsychotics. Olanzapine had the highest signal intensity in oculogyric crisis. Aripiprazole had the highest signal strength in blepharospasm. Cariprazine was associated with cataract-related ocular adverse reactions. In terms of the types of adverse events, our study found that aripiprazole was associated with 28 types of ocular adverse events, followed by quetiapine. Clozapine was only associated with two types of ocular adverse events.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to determine the ocular toxicity of the psychotropic drugs used by patients and to proffer suggestions on how to prevent visual impairment or blindness in patients on antipsychotics. Methodology: This was a prospective, hospital-based cross-sectional study. Participants were adult patients between 18 and 70 years, diagnosed with psychosis, and who had been on antipsychotic medications for at least one year. All the recruited participants had an examination of the anterior and posterior segments of the eyes done. Schirmer's test, Tear film Break-up time (TBUT), Central Corneal thickness (CCT), Colour vision test, and Contrast sensitivity test were done. The collected data was analyzed using IBM SPSS 28.0. Results: The study enrolled patients who were mainly females (55.1%). The highest age group of the cases was 29-38 years (29.7%). The examination of the eyes and investigations revealed that 10.2% of the respondents on antipsychotics had color vision deficiency and 25.4% - loss of contrast sensitivity. Lid pigmentation was observed in 20.3% and cataract in 32.2%. Degeneration of the peripheral retina was observed in 4.2% of patients on antipsychotic medication. Schirmer's test showed mild, moderate, and severe dry eyes in 11%,17.8%, and 20.3% of the participants respectively. The test for Central Corneal Thickness (CCT) showed 50.0% of the respondents had a thin cornea and 24.6% had a thick cornea. 17.8% of the surveyed respondents manifested high eye pressure. Discussion: Psychotropics are the gold standard for the treatment of psychotic episodes and disorders. The choice of drug, dosing, and mode of administration depends on the severity of the psychotic disorder. Higher doses of psychotropics were reported to cause toxicity in different organs in the body including the eyes, especially on long-term use and high dosage and this can affect the quality of life of the individual negatively. Conclusion: The earliest and most prominent side effect seen in patients on psychotic medication was dry eyes. There were a few cases of blinding eye diseases like glaucoma, and cataract. For these reasons, ophthalmic assessments should be included as part of the management of psychiatric patients early at the start of antipsychotic treatment.

[PMID: 35223927 PMCID: PMC8864171 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.831337] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2021] [Accepted: 01/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective To evaluate the clinical features and inflammatory cytokines of dry eye disease (DED) in patients with schizophrenia. Methods This is a case-control study. The modified self-rating depression scale (M-SDS) and the ocular surface disease index (OSDI) were used to evaluate the symptoms of depression and DED, respectively. Lipid layer thickness (LLT), partial blink rate (PBR), meibomian gland loss (MGL), tear break-up time (TBUT), corneal fluorescein staining, Schirmer I-test, and eyelid margin abnormalities were also measured. A multiplex ELISA Quantibody array was used to detect the inflammatory cytokines in the tears of all participants. Results Forty schizophrenic patients and 20 control subjects were included. The mean age was 45.0 ± 9.5 years (range, 22–63 years) in schizophrenic patients and 45.4 ± 16.2 years (range, 23–76 years) in controls (P = 0.914). The ratio of male to female was 1.1 in schizophrenic patients and 1.0 in controls (P = 0.914). Ten women (52.6%) with schizophrenia and 2 (20%) in the control group (P = 0.096) were menopausal or post-menopausal. The OSDI [0.0 (0.0–4.2) vs. 7.3 (2.1–14.6)] and TBUT [4.5 (3.0–6.0) vs. 10.0 (3.5–11.0)] were significantly lower in patients with schizophrenia than in controls (P = 0.003 and P = 0.009, respectively). The rate of MGL [36.5 (17.5–47.5) vs. 8.5 (0.0–17.5)] increased in schizophrenic patients (P < 0.001). Among pro-inflammatory cytokines, the levels of interleukin (IL)-1α, IL-6, IL-11, IL-12A, IL-15, IL-17A, and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in tears were elevated in the schizophrenia group (all P < 0.01). Most of the chemokines examined were at increased levels in the tears of schizophrenics (all P < 0.05). The levels of matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) were also higher in the schizophrenic patients (all P < 0.001). The concentrations of IL-1Ra, tissue-inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), and TIMP-2 in the schizophrenia group were decreased (all P < 0.001). In schizophrenic patients, the level of CCL2 in tears was positively correlated with OSDI (R = 0.34, P = 0.03). The increasing TIMP-1 and decreasing IL-5 were correlated with increasing LLT (R = 0.33, P = 0.035; R = −0.35, P = 0.027, respectively). The level of ICAM-1 was then positively correlated with partial blink rate (PBR) (R = 0.33, P = 0.035). There was a negative correlation between IL-8 and the Schirmer I-test (R = −0.41, P = 0.009). Conclusions Patients with schizophrenia were more likely to experience asymptomatic DED, with mild symptoms and obvious signs. The inflammatory cytokines in the tears of schizophrenic patients differed greatly from that of non-schizophrenic patients.
