Abstract: | <h4>Purpose</h4>To report a case of lash ptosis caused by latanoprost.<h4>Design</h4>Observational case report.<h4>Methods</h4>Retrospective chart review.<h4>Results</h4>A 61-year-old, ocular hypertensive man who was using latanoprost OU presented with trichomegaly and bilateral lash ptosis. The lash ptosis had not resolved 6 months after stopping latanoprost, and anterior lamellar repositions were performed. At last follow-up, 8 months after surgery, the lids were in a normal position, but the trichomegaly had reduced only slightly.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Lash ptosis should be considered as a possible complication of latanoprost therapy. |
