OBJECTIVE To describe the findings in a patient with a nongranulomatous anterior uveitis, presumed to be induced by metipranolol. METHODS A 69-year-old woman developed bilateral, nongranulomatous, anterior uveitis while undergoing treatment with metipranolol 0.3% for primary open-angle glaucoma. Four months after resolution of the initial episode, the patient was challenged with metipranolol 0.3% in the right eye. RESULTS On reinstituting metipranolol 0.3%, the patient once again developed a unilateral, nongranulomatous, anterior uveitis in the challenged eye. CONCLUSIONS Metipranolol 0.3% eyedrops, used to treat primary open-angle glaucoma, appear to cause a nongranulomatous anterior uveitis.
