Cited in Scopus: 8Zoledronic acid (Aclasta, Novartis Pharmaceuticals, Canada) is a bisphosphonate used in the treatment of osteoporosis, Paget's disease of the bone, and hypercalcemia associated with malignancy. It is administered as a single yearly infusion when used in patients with osteoporosis who do not tolerate oral bisphosphonates. Several reports of ocular inflammation in the immediate postinjection period have appeared in the literature. Here, we report a case of acute anterior uveitis.
