PURPOSE: To report poliosis as a side effect associated with topical prostaglandin F (PGF) analogs. METHOD: Case series. RESULTS: Seven patients treated with different topical PGF analogs for primary open angle glaucoma developed bilateral poliosis, either alone or in combination with other adverse effects of PGF analog therapy. CONCLUSION: Poliosis is a possible adverse effect of topical PGF analog therapy which is previously unreported. Topical PGF analog therapy should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients with poliosis.
