| Popis: | Purpose To report the clinical improvement observed in a glaucomatous patient affected by floppy eyelid syndrome and ectropion after treatment with Bimatoprost 0.03%. Methods Retrospective observational case report of a single glaucomatous patient (caucasian, 82 years old) affected by floppy eyelid syndrome with marked eyelid laxity and ectropion after 1 month of once a day 0.03% Bimatoprost ocular drop administration. Results We observed a reduction of intraocular pressure (36% in the right eye and 37.5% in the left eye) and an unexpected improvement of eyelid laxity and inferior ectropion after 1 month of therapy with topical 0.03% Bimatoprost. Secondary outcomes were the improvement of the related ocular surface diseases and the decrease of the upper eyelid dermatochalasis. No side effect in terms of conjunctival inflammation and eyelashes growth was observed. Conclusions and Importance The first observational clinical case of a possible prostaglandin therapeutic effect on periocular tissue improving the laxity and malposition of the eyelids in a patient with floppy eyelid syndrome associated with inferior eyelid ectropion. |
