Metipranolol associated granulomatous anterior uveitis: not so uncommon as thought.

Two case reports of bilateral granulomatous anterior uveitis are described in patients with open angle glaucoma treated with metripranolol 0.6% eye drops. Several cases have been described in the United Kingdom and recently in the United States. In my opinion this reaction is not so uncommon as thought. Possible causes of this phenomenon are proposed keeping in mind that a hypotensive drug can cause intra ocular pressure rise. The incidence of similar cases seems to increase.

Presumed inflammatory maculopathies.

The macular disorders are classified according to the originally affected layer and the probable cause of the disease: presumed inflammatory or traumatic, iatrogenic, toxic, metabolic or trophic, and hereditary. Three young female patients are reported who had presumed inflammatory diseases: CBPE-complex (APMPPE), pigment epithelium (pigment epitheliitis), and neuroretina (acute macular neuroretinopathy). APMPPE is considered to be a choriocapillaritis closely related to a soft photocoagulate. They recommend careful follow-up of acute neuroretinopathy because through "disuse" a disease of one layer may progress to other layers as they are metabolically interdependent.
