The aim of this systematic review is to estimate the changes in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell layer and inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) thicknesses measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients with mycobacterial infection treated with ethambutol and not suffering from EON. Methods: A systematic review of articles was conducted by searching PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science until November 2025. Additional studies were identified by the review of references. Search terms included OCT and ethambutol. Longitudinal observational studies using an OCT device to measure RNFL and GCIPL thicknesses before and after the administration of ethambutol in patients with mycobacterial infection without ocular diseases were included. The extraction of data in studies was performed by two researchers using data extraction sheets. The meta-analysis was conducted using the random-effect model. Results: In total, 14 studies (n = 1138) were eligible for the systematic review. Meta-analysis combining RNFL measured after the longest duration of ethambutol administration showed no significant decrease compared to RNFL before treatment. However, there were significant decreases in RNFL thickness in male-dominant studies, studies conducted in Turkey and India, and studies conducted by the Cirrus OCT device. In addition, the decreases in RNFL thickness were correlated with the duration of ethambutol administration in male-dominant studies. Only two studies reported the thickness changes in GCIPL, and the study with a higher male proportion showed significant decreases in GCIPL thickness. Conclusions: Ethambutol does not cause a significant RNFL decrease generally in mycobacterial infection patients; however, it may lead to decreased RNFL thickness in male patients and patients in some regions, even though they do not suffer from EON.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm15031230","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,4]],"date-time":"2026-02-04T14:55:11Z","timestamp":1770216911000},"page":"1230","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Longitudinal Observation by Optical Coherence Tomography in Patients Treated with Ethambutol: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Rui","family":"Luo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing 100730, China"},{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Fundus Diseases Intelligent Diagnosis & Drug\/Device Development and Translation, Beijing 100730, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jin","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing 100730, China"},{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Fundus Diseases Intelligent Diagnosis & Drug\/Device Development and Translation, Beijing 100730, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yong","family":"Zhong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing 100730, China"},{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Fundus Diseases Intelligent Diagnosis & Drug\/Device Development and Translation, Beijing 100730, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"e79160","article-title":"Ethambutol-Induced Optic Neuropathy: A Retrospective Study of Incidences and Risk Factors","volume":"17","author":"Singh","year":"2025","journal-title":"Cureus"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Chaitanuwong, P., Srithawatpong, S., Ruamviboonsuk, P., Apinyawasisuk, S., Watcharapanjamart, A., and Moss, H.E.
