Topical anti-glaucoma medications are the mainstay of therapy in Glaucoma. All anti-glaucoma medications are associated with adverse effects. As ripasudil hydrochloride hydrate 0.4% is a relatively new drug, we describe a series of patients who developed allergic contact dermatitis after the use of topical Ripasudil. Twelve eyes of seven patients treated with topical ripasudil that subsequently developed allergic contact dermatitis were included in the case series. All seven patients developed itchy, hyperpigmented lesions around periocular areas which got relieved after cessation of the drug.
