A Rare Complication From Prostaglandin Analogue Therapy

The document reports a rare side effect of prostaglandin analogue eye drops, which are typically prescribed for primary open angle glaucoma. While it is commonly known that these eye drops can cause an increase in eyelash number, size, and pigmentation, the case presented reveals an unusual extent of hair growth in the malar region (cheek area) of the face. This excessive hair growth was deemed unacceptable and is highlighted as a potential reason for patients to discontinue the use of prostaglandin analogue therapy.
