Pupil Damage After Periorbital Laser Treatment of a Port-wine Stain

Iritis and pupillary distortion after periorbital cosmetic alexandrite laser

“…Blurred central vision with a fresh-red shadow was noted immediately after laser exposure. Herbold et al [6], Hammes et al [7], and Halkiadakis et al [8] also presented patients who experienced iritic atrophy and posterior synechiae after periorbital laser treatment, and an even more severe case associated with cataract formation.…”

“…The retina and iris contain the highest concentrations of melanin in the body, and can be harmed by lasers when they are used within the periocular area. Previously published reports have demonstrated the adverse effects of dermatological laser treatments, including anterior uveitis, pupillary distortion, posterior synechiae, iris atrophy, nuclear cataract, visual field defect, macular hole, and retinal scarring [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Carrim et al [4] described a woman suffering from iris damage and acute pigment dispersion Fig.…”

Treatment of lupus erythematosus of the eyelids with pulsed dye laser

“…Ocular complications such as anisocoria, uveitis, pupillary distortion, posterior synechiae, iris atrophy, nuclear cataract, visual field defect, macular hole, and retinal scarring have been reported with Diode laser (800 nm), Alexandrite laser (755 nm), and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) (500-1200 nm), mostly related to lack of eye protection [18][19][20][21]. Although PDL has a lower tissue penetration (wavelength of 595 nm), permanent visual impairment has also been reported [22].…”

Two Cases of Anterior Uveitis After Laser Eyebrow Epilation

“…As a result, a variety of clinical presentations, such as iris atrophy, anterior uveitis, posterior synechia, and cataract, can occur with laser removal of eyebrow hair. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] The retina contains the highest concentration of melanin in the body and can be damaged by lasers that are used in orbital bone structures. 3,10 However, previous case reports revealed the appearance of a normal fundus in cases with anterior segment side effects associated with laser removal of eyebrow hair.…”

“…1 In the literature, there are only a small number of reports of ocular complications after laser epilation of eyebrow hair. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] This report describes 2 cases with anterior uveitis after undergoing laser eyebrow epilation. Both patients had Fitzpatrick skin type 3, and they had undergone laser epilation above and between areas of eyebrows.…”
