PURPOSE: To report serous macular detachment in two patients with cystoid macular edema (CME) associated with latanoprost. METHODS: Two eyes of two patients with CME associated with latanoprost underwent an ophthalmoscopic examination, fluorescein angiography, and optical coherence tomography (OCT). RESULTS: In both patients, besides CME, OCT showed serous macular detachment composed of retinal elevation over a nonreflective cavity with minimal shadowing of the underlying tissues. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first case report that shows an association between serous macular detachment and CME associated with latanoprost.
