摘要：

Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressive medication in the class of calcineurin inhibitors that acts by inhibiting T-cell and interleukin-2 activity, and is commonly used after allogeneic organ transplant. We present a patient who used tacrolimus after cadaveric kidney transplant and experienced blurry vision. Ocular examination and patient's course subsequently revealed aqueous tear deficiency as a dose-dependent adverse effect of oral tacrolimus.</.
