We evaluated a unilateral retinal vascular abnormality in a 34-year-old woman receiving bromocriptine mesylate for the suppression of postpartum lactation. After using bromocriptine, 2.5 mg twice daily for 1 week, the patient complained of metamorphopsia in the left eye. A central retinal vein occlusion was found. We believe that central retinal vein occlusion in patients receiving bromocriptine, as demonstrated in our patient, is rare.
