A 75-year-old woman developed bilateral ocular irritation, swollen eyelids, and reduced visual acuity after using dorzolamide 2% eye-drops tds for 2 days, in addition to long-term latanoprost - - timolol Her best-corrected visual acuity deteriorated from 6/9 right and left, to 6/12 and 6/18 respectively. The eyelids were erythematous and there was bilateral conjunctival injection. The anterior chambers were deep and the intraocular pressure was 22 mmHg in both eyes, with no intraocular inflammation. Fundoscopy showed extensive bilateral choroidal detachment. Dorzolamide was withdrawn and the problem resolved within 2 weeks. [Pg.438]
