Iris-color change developed after topical isopropyl unoprostone treatment

J Glaucoma. 1997 Dec;6(6):430-2.

Abstract

Purpose: To present a case in which iris pigmentation developed after treatment with isopropyl unoprostone, an analogue of a prostaglandin metabolite.

Methods: Case report.

Results: A Japanese man with dark brown irises, treated unilaterally with isopropyl unoprostone, developed iris-color change in the treated eye after a 20-month treatment.

Conclusions: Isopropyl unoprostone can induce iris pigmentation as does latanoprost.
