Abstract
Allergic contact dermatitis due to mydriatic eyedrops is rare despite extensively used by ophthalmologists. Phenylephrine is responsible for most of the cases in the literature. We reported two other cases due to phenylephrine eyedrops with an unusual evolution characterized by chronic debilitating blepharoconjunctivitis.
