We describe a 28-year-old Caucasian female with vigorexy, who had no previous ocular history. She presented with bilateral gradual painless reduction in vision over the past 3 weeks. She had been taking niacin supplements, averaging 500 mg daily, for 7 years. Fundus examination revealed bilateral CME, which was confirmed by ocular coherence tomography scan. Fundus fluorescein angiography did not reveal any fluid leakage. Niacin supplementation was discontinued, and after 2 months, the CME had completely resolved, and the best corrected visual acuities improved to 1 in both eyes.
