A 21-year-man male patient presented for a regular eye check-up. He was a known case of bipolar affective disorder and was on the antipsychotic drug, olanzapine, for 12 years. Slit-lamp examination showed peripheral anterior-mid stromal, bilateral, whitish, diffuse pigmentary deposition. Olanzapine is a second-generation atypical antipsychotic used in the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorders. In this case report, we describe a case of corneal deposits related to another new generation atypical antipsychotic agent, olanzapine.
