Topical prostaglandin F2α analog induced poliosis

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