Abstract
To report three different adverse reactions after initiating treatment with latanoprost. Serial clinical examinations of three patients were performed. Adverse reactions such as ocular hypotony and choroidal effusions, recurrent cystoid macular edema, and facial rash were noted to occur within 1 to 4 weeks after starting topical latanoprost for the treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma. Clinicians should be alerted to these possible complications of topical latanoprost therapy.
