Discontinuing offending topical agents, like dorzolamide, can resolve drug-induced ectropion. Early recognition and topical steroid therapy are key management strategies for this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Drug-induced ectropion is a rare condition.
  • Topical medications can cause allergic reactions leading to eyelid abnormalities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review cases of drug-induced ectropion.
  • To recommend best practices for managing this condition.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective observational case series.
  • Analysis of 13 outpatients with topical drug-induced ectropion.
  • Evaluation of eyelid position, causative agent, and management outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Ectropion resolved in all patients after discontinuing the offending topical agent.
  • Dorzolamide (53%) and brimonidine (23%) were the most common causative agents.

  • Topical steroids aided resolution and reduced the need for surgery.

    • Conclusions:

    • Topical agent sensitivity can induce ectropion through cicatricial changes or contact dermatitis.
    • Early recognition and discontinuation of the causative agent are crucial for resolution.
    • Topical steroids are an important adjunct in managing drug-induced ectropion.
