Abstract. Background:Commercially available latanoprost ophthalmic solution contains 0.02% and tafluprost contains 0.0015% benzalkonium chloride. Purpose:To report changes in corneal epithelium after switching to tafluprost ophthalmic solution. Cases and Method:This study was made on 11 eyes of 11 patients who developed superficial punctate keratopathy following treatment with latanoprost. The series comprised 5 males and 6 females. The age averaged 67 years. Cases were evaluated 8 weeks after switching to topical tafluprost. Results:There was no change in intraocular pressure after switching. Area density of the corneal epithelium improved in 9 eyes and remained unchanged in 2. Score of superficial punctate keratopathy significantly improved in the central and whole cornea. Conclusion:Superficial punctate keratopathy improved in 82% of eyes 8 weeks after switching to topical tafluprost.
