Acute Myopia and Angle Closure Glaucoma from Topiramate in a Seven-Year-Old: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
BMC Pediatrics 14:96, Rapoport, Y.,et al, 2014
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Acute angle closure glaucoma is a well-known side effect of topiramate, but is rarely seen in children. It cautions providers to the potential ophthalmic side effects of commonly used medications in the pediatric population. It highlights the need to keep a broad differential in mind when encountering sudden onset blurry vision in the primary care clinic, the need for careful consideration of side effects when starting topiramate therapy in a child, and the need for parental counseling of side effects.
