| Abstract;A 70-year-old woman presented with impaired visual acuity in her left eye. She had been diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma 14 years before. She had received intraocular surgery once in her right eye and four times in her left eye. She had been using topical latanoprost in both eyes since one year before. Her corrected visual acuity was 1.2 right and 0.2 left. Funduscopy showed cystoid macular edema(CME) in the left eye. Optical coherence tomography(OCT) showed CME in both eyes. After discontinuation of latanoprost, she was given topical bromfenac to the left eye and peroral acetazolamide. Eight weeks later, CME in both eyes disappeared and her left visual acuity improved to 0.6. This case illustrates that topical latanoprost may induce CME in eyes with prior history of intraocular surgery. (author abst.) |
