Abstract
Purpose:
To report three different adverse reactions after initiating treatment with latanoprost.
Method:
Serial clinical examinations of three patients were performed.
Results:
Adverse reactions such as ocular hypotony and choroidal effusions, recurrent cystoid macular edema, and facial rash were noted to occur within 1 to 4 weeks after starting topical latanoprost for the treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma.
Conclusion:
Clinicians should be alerted to these possible complications of topical latanoprost therapy.
