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.
