Abstract
PURPOSE: To present a case in which iris pigmentation developed after treatment with isopropyl unoprostone, an analogue of a prostaglandin metabolite. METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: A Japanese man with dark brown irises, treated unilaterally with isopropyl unoprostone, developed iris-color change in the treated eye after a 20-month treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Isopropyl unoprostone can induce iris pigmentation as does latanoprost.
