A 60-year-old man presented with primary open angle glaucoma in the left eye. His visual acuity was 20/80 and intraocular pressure (IOP) was 34 mmHg on dorzolamide, timolol, and brimonidine. Netarsudil was added and he was reviewed in 5 days. His visual acuity dropped to 20/200 and cornea showed reticular epithelial edema or corneal honeycombing [Figure 1]a and [Figure 1]b suggestive of netarsudil induced adverse effect [Figure 1]d, which resolved in a week after stopping netarsudil [Figure 1]c. Corneal honeycombing is a potential adverse effect of netarsudil, which is fortunately reversible on discontinuing the drug.[1],[2] | Figure 1: (a and b) Slit-lamp photograph of the left eye showing reticular epithelial edema (c) Resolved reticular epithelial edema after withdrawl of netarsudil (d) Specular microscopy showing normal endothelial counts
