Abstract

Two case reports of bilateral granulomatous anterior uveitis are described in patients with open angle glaucoma treated with metripranolol 0.6% eye drops. Several cases have been described in the United Kingdom and recently in the United States. In my opinion this reaction is not so uncommon as thought. Possible causes of this phenomenon are proposed keeping in mind that a hypotensive drug can cause intra ocular pressure rise. The incidence of similar cases seems to increase.

摘要

本文描述了两例使用0.6%美替洛尔滴眼液治疗开角型青光眼的患者发生双侧肉芽肿性前葡萄膜炎的病例报告。在英国以及最近在美国都有几例相关病例的报道。在我看来，这种反应并不像人们认为的那么罕见。考虑到一种降压药物可能导致眼压升高，本文提出了这种现象的可能原因。类似病例的发生率似乎在增加。
