ABSTRACT
The use of ophthalmic drugs and contact lens solutions has increased and allergic contact dermatitis due to these agents has also recently increased. The first case was a 67-year-old female patient who developed allergic contact dermatitis after application of Latano(R): The patch test with the ingredients in Latano(R) showed positive reaction to latanoprost and benzalkonium chloride. The second case was a 63-year-old female patient who developed allergic contact dermatitis after application of Ecolicin(R), Tolon(R), Forus(R) and Uniten-F(R): The patch test showed a positive reaction to Tolon(R). She didn't want further evaluation. The third case was a 51-year-old female patient who developed allergic contact dermatitis after application of Terramycin(R) eye ointment: the patch test with the ingredients of Terramycin(R) eye ointment showed a positive reaction to polymyxin B. When contact dermatitis occurs in periorbital areas, topical ophthalmic ointment or lens cleanser needs to be considered as a causative agent.
