Prostaglandin Analogues in the Desert of Eye Health: A Shifting Landscape of Side Effects

In the desert of ophthalmology, we often seek solutions to preserve and improve vision. This study examines the side effects of prostaglandin analogues (PAs), a class of medications commonly used to treat glaucoma, in a Hispanic population.

Navigating the Desert: Side Effects of Prostaglandin Analogues

The researchers conducted a cross-sectional study evaluating the prevalence of periorbital changes associated with PA use. They found that a significant proportion of patients experienced side effects, including ptosis, periorbital hyperpigmentation, and eyelash elongation. These changes were often perceived as aesthetically undesirable by patients, affecting their quality of life.
