Abstract
To report an adverse side effect associated with topical latanoprost usage. Case report. A 76-year-old woman with primary open-angle glaucoma developed an iris cyst 5 weeks after beginning treatment with latanoprost. Clinical examinations and slit-lamp photographs were performed. Latanoprost was discontinued. Periodic examinations disclosed that the iris cyst gradually diminished and finally disappeared within 3 weeks. The formation of an iris cyst is a possible complication of topical latanoprost therapy.
