Abstract. Purpose:To report a case of deepening of the sulcus of upper eyelid following instillation of travoprost that improved after switching to tafluprost. Case:A 59-year-old male presented with photophobia in the right eye. He had been diagnosed with ocular hypertension in the right eye. He was free of glaucomatous changes in the fundus and visual field,he had received no treatment. Findings:Corrected visual acuity was 1.5 in either eye. Intraocular pressure(IOP)was 36 mmHg right and 18 mmHg left. The right eye was diagnosed with primary angle-closure. He declined laser iridotomy. IOP was normalized after instillation of travoprost. The right eye developed deeping of the sulcus with pigmentation 15 months later. Deeping of the sulcus was improved after switching travoprost to tafluprost within normal IOP. Conclusion:This case illustrates that deeping of the sulcus after travoprost may be improved after switching to tafluprost,another prostagloandin derivative.
