This case report aims to highlight serious complications associated with laser iris depigmentation, focusing on elevated intraocular pressure and herpes simplex keratitis.
Descriptive case report of two patients post-laser iris depigmentation
Monitoring of intraocular pressure levels
Topical and systemic treatments administered for elevated intraocular pressure
Patient 1 had an intraocular pressure of 34 mmHg and later developed herpes simplex keratitis leading to corneal scarring
Patient 2 presented with an intraocular pressure of 60 mmHg in one eye
Treatment normalized intraocular pressure in both cases, but visual acuity declined in Patient 1 due to scarring
