Abstract

Purpose: To describe the reactivation of Varicella-Zoster Virus Anterior Uveitis after YAG laser peripheral iridotomy. Case report: A 69-year-old woman referred with unilateral, anterior uveitis associated with decreased corneal sensation and increased intraocular pressure 5 days after YAG laser peripheral iridotomy. The impression of herpetic anterior uveitis reactivation followed by YAG PI confirmed by polymerase chain reaction of aqueous humor by detecting varicella zoster virus. Treatment with oral acyclovir and topical corticosteroid and cycloplegic resulted control of both the intraocular inflammation and pressure. Conclusion: YAG PI may be a risk factor for reactivation of herpetic anterior uveitis. Prophylaxis with acyclovir may be necessary after YAG PI to prevent reactivation of herpetic anterior uveitis. © 2020, © 2020 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
