Bilateral acute depigmentation of iris (BADI) is an idiopathic, acute onset pigment dispersion, associated with systemic antibiotics including fluoroquinolones.[1],[2],[3] A 48-year-old man presented with sudden onset pain, redness, and decreased vision in both eyes. Visual acuity was 6/36 and 6/60 in right and left eyes, respectively. Intraocular pressures were normal. There was presence of diffuse depigmentation of iris in both eyes with posterior synechiae, pigmented cells, flare and cataract [Figure 1]. Posterior segment was normal. There was history of fever treated with systemic moxifloxacin 10 days ago. A diagnosis of BADI was made and treated with topical corticosteroids followed by cataract surgery.
