Choroidal detachment after the use of topical latanoprost.

Abstract

To report a case of delayed choroidal detachment after treatment with topical latanoprost. Interventional case report. Five years after trabeculectomy in a 91-year-old female, a Holmium laser thermal sclerostomy was performed, and a year later, the patient was started on latanoprost.005% every 24 hours and hydrochloride dorzolamide 2% three times daily. Choroidal detachments developed 2.5 years after the sclerostomy; they resolved after discontinuation of the latanoprost and hydrochloride dorzolamide. Subsequently, the patient inadvertently restarted latanoprost. Again, the latanoprost was stopped, with resolution of the choroidal detachments. Topical latanoprost may lead to choroidal detachments and hypotony.
