概要
A previously unreported complication of the use of prostaglandin analog medications for glaucoma therapy is described. A patient with monocular open-angle glaucoma had trichiasis, a condition associated with the use of a prostaglandin analog. The patient was treated with radiofrequency cautery and is now asymptomatic. The unmedicated eye remains asymptomatic to date. Increased lash length, thickness, and pigmentation are well-documented side effects of prostaglandin analog glaucoma drops. Physicians must consider this when prescribing these medications for patients with misdirected eyelashes.
