  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

An 82-year-old woman had received surgery for cataract and open-angle glaucoma 12 years before. Intraocular pressure(IOP)became unstable 7 years before,necessitating instillation of beta-blocker in her right eye. Her visual acuity remained 1.0 in either eye. IOP was 21 mmHg right and 18 mmHg left. She then started additional instillation of brinzolamide twice daily. She noticed,reportedly,blurring of vision one week after instillation. When seen one month after brinzolamide,her right eye showed corneal edema,stromal opacity and folds in Descemet membrane. IOP in the right eye was 12 mmHg. Corneal endothelial cell density was 1,161/mm2 right and 1,312/mm2 left. Corneal edema persisted at least for 12 weeks after discontinuation of all topical medications. It appeared that previous intraocular surgery induced decrease in endothelial cell population. Additional instillation of brinzolamide,a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor,triggered dysfunction of corneal endothelium with resultant corneal edema.
