ABSTRACT
This article presents a case of a 31-year-old male patient who presented to the outpatient department of the Krasnov Research Institute of Eye Diseases with complaints of diplopia and increased intraocular pressure (IOP) up to 30 mm Hg. The patient had been using minoxidil topically for androgenic alopecia for 8 years. On examination, mild swelling of the bulbar conjunctiva in the upper fornix was revealed; optical coherence tomography showed thinning of the ganglion cell layer, most likely due to moderate myopia. The patient responded well to discontinuation of minoxidil and topical therapy with prostaglandin analogues. After 4 months, an attempt was made to replace topical hypotensive therapy with carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, but the previous hypotensive regimen had to be resumed due to an increase in IOP. During 10 months of observation, no signs of progression were detected according to optical coherence tomography and static perimetry.
