Description

Fatin Nabila Mat Nawi and Mae-Lynn Bastion describe allergy cases from a glaucoma eye drop in a 2025 paper. The drop lowers eye pressure well and is usually gentle. Allergy to it can appear quietly, long after treatment starts.

Five cases came from one eye doctor's records over two years. Patients had used the drop for nine to sixteen months before redness and swelling began. Itching, often expected in allergy, was not prominent here. Signs included eyelid follicles and mild surface swelling, with pressure staying steady. No patient had stopped the drop on their own. Symptoms cleared quickly once the drug was withdrawn. The series warns clinicians to suspect the drop even after many calm months.
