摘要

CASEAbout a decade ago, I was referred the case of a 12-year-old Asian female. At the time, she wore contact lenses to correct -5.00 D of myopia. The patient had reported to her treating optometrist irritation from her contact lenses; the optometrist in turn offered palliative measures aimed at reducing the intolerance. Unbeknownst to the treating optometrist, however, the patient’s mother obtained a medication while traveling in Asia that she gave to her daughter. In 2005, the FDA shut down the OTC manufacturer of this formulation, called “Bright Eyes” for numerous infractions, including the safety of some of its products and manufacturing deficiencies.1The patient subsequently used this formulation for more than a year, likely multiple times a day. Upon further investigation, I discovered that this medication contained three active ingredients: an antibiotic, a vasoconstrictor and dexamethasone.During my initial examination, I found pressures in both eyes over 40 mm Hg, significant optic nerve damage and moderate visual field loss. We immediately discontinued use of the formulation and placed the patient on topical glaucoma therapy. Later in the treatment course, we added an oral medication to attempt to control the pressure. She also underwent a trabeculotomy by internal approach (Trabectome, NeoMedix) after a pressure spike to more than 40 mm Hg. This brought her IOP down to the high teens, but by age 13, she had progressive visual field loss and required a trabeculectomy in both eyes.Since the initial referral, we have continued to follow this patient. Her pressures are maintained in the low teens, although she recently required the use of a topical medication to maintain the target pressure. During the most recent examination, the patient, now 22 years old, exhibited functioning filtration blebs but with some degree of fibrosis and scarring around the site of the trabeculectomies.
