Abstract
To report poliosis as a side effect associated with topical prostaglandin F(2alpha) (PGF(2alpha)) analogs. Case series. Seven patients treated with different topical PGF(2alpha) analogs for primary open angle glaucoma developed bilateral poliosis, either alone or in combination with other adverse effects of PGF(2alpha) analog therapy. Poliosis is a possible adverse effect of topical PGF(2alpha) analog therapy which is previously unreported. Topical PGF(2alpha) analog therapy should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients with poliosis.
