Abstract | PURPOSE:
Laser-assisted epilation of eyebrow hair has become a common practice, but a number of ocular complications can occur. We report the cases of 2 patients who had unilateral anterior uveitis after having undergone laser removal of eyebrow hair. METHODS: RESULTS: Eye examinations revealed that both patients had conjunctival injection, endothelial keratic precipitates, and cells in the anterior chamber of one eye. They were treated with topical cyclopentolate and steroid eye drops. Within a week, their symptoms had disappeared, and anterior chamber reactions were not seen. At their 3-month follow-ups, their visual acuity was 20/20, and eye examination results were normal for both eyes of each patient. CONCLUSIONS:
