%X Vancomycin is a widely used tricyclic glycopeptide antibiotic for treating various Gram-positive infections, including Clostridium difficile colitis. Although considered generally safe, it has been associated with several side effects. In this case report, we highlight a rare adverse effect in which a patient experienced chronic photophobia following treatment with oral vancomycin. This sheds light upon a potential relationship between oral vancomycin therapy and photophobia, emphasizing the need for increased awareness in clinical practice and urging further investigation into this association.
