Abstract
To report a case of marginal keratitis resulting from topical dorzolamide hypersensitivity. Case report. A 68-year-old woman presented with bilateral marginal keratitis 2 weeks after commencing bilateral topical dorzolamide. One week after discontinuation of topical dorzolamide, the patient was asymptomatic with complete resolution of corneal infiltrates. Topical dorzolamide may cause a hypersensitivity reaction in the form of marginal keratitis. Discontinuation of the offending medication should result in complete resolution.
