To present a case of conjunctival pigmentation associated with topical use of netarsudil 0.02 % (Rhopressa, Alcon, Fort Worth, TX).
Bilateral conjunctival pigmentation and cornea verticillata developed after 21 months of initiating netarsudil treatment. The appearance of the conjunctival pigmentation mimicked primary acquired melanosis. Both the conjunctival and corneal findings resolved 14 months after stopping the medication.
While the correlation between netarsudil use and corneal verticillata is well-established, we could not identify prior reports of such an association with conjunctival pigmentation. Eye care professionals prescribing netarsudil should be aware of this potential sequela of therapy.
报告一例与局部使用0.02%奈他地尔(Rhopressa,爱尔康公司,得克萨斯州沃思堡)相关的结膜色素沉着病例。
开始使用奈他地尔治疗21个月后出现双侧结膜色素沉着和角膜涡状浑浊。结膜色素沉着的外观类似原发性获得性黑素沉着症。停药14个月后,结膜和角膜的病变均消退。
虽然奈他地尔使用与角膜涡状浑浊之间的相关性已得到充分证实,但我们未发现此前有关于这种药物与结膜色素沉着相关的报道。开具奈他地尔处方的眼科护理专业人员应了解这种潜在的治疗后遗症。
