Daratumumab is an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody approved for use in multiple myeloma in 2015 and under investigation for use in light-chain amyloidosis. We report a case of a patient with amyloidosis who developed bilateral, acute secondary angle closure during an infusion of daratumumab. Ultrasound biomicroscopy obtained 3 days after the onset of her symptoms demonstrated the cause to be bilateral choroidal effusions. Taken together with several previous case reports, the evidence suggests that, like topiramate, daratumumab is associated with the idiosyncratic reaction of choroidal effusions, resulting in a spectrum of clinical outcomes from myopic shift to acute angle closure. The treating oncologist and eye care provider should be aware of these adverse outcomes in any patient undergoing treatment with this medication, as swift recognition and intervention may be vision-saving.
