I read somewhere that vigabatrain was associated with significant risk of retinal pigmentation. Tiagabine evidently does not have those risks-the article was comparing the two since they elevated GABA via two different mechanisms-there was some concern that tiagabine could have the same problem and it was evidently "cleared" of that concern.
