Purpose: To evaluate the incidence and characteristics of periocular pigmentation with latanoprost versus bimatoprost.
Methods: A retrospective, active-controlled comparison of consecutive patients treated with latanoprost or bimatoprost for 12 months evaluating patients to determine the incidence, characteristics, and reversibility of periocular pigmentation.
Results: Periocular pigmentation was found in 1% patients treated with latanoprost and 6% patients treated with bimatoprost within 12 months of beginning treatment (p = 0.004).
Conclusions: This study suggests that periocular pigmentation may develop after treatment with latanoprost or bimatoprost.

Division of Ophthalmology Informatics and Data Science, Viterbi Family Department of Ophthalmology and Shiley Eye Institute, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, USA.
Objective: To identify common factors associated with periocular cutaneous malignancies using the National Institutes of Health (NIH) database.
Methodology: In this case-control study, we extracted electronic health records and sociodemographic data for 385 cases of periocular cutaneous malignancies from the nationwide database. Controls ( = 1540) were matched to the demographic characteristics of the 2020 United States Census.
Comparison of Ophthalmologists versus Dermatologists for the Diagnosis and Management of Periorbital Atypical Pigmented Skin Lesions.
J Clin Med
August 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, University of Catania, 95123 Catania, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Lentigo maligna (LM) and lentigo maligna melanoma (LMM) are key melanoma subtypes with an incidence of 1.37 per 100,000 in the U.S., often misdiagnosed, especially among the elderly, leading to treatment delays.
- A study evaluated the diagnostic abilities of ophthalmologists in identifying pigmented skin lesions in the periorbital region by reviewing 79 cases, comparing their results with dermatologists.
- Results showed that ophthalmologists had a diagnostic accuracy of 63.5% and lower sensitivity compared to dermatologists (33.3% vs. 46.9%), with a significantly higher percentage of ophthalmologists rating cases as "difficult" and suggesting fewer biopsies
In vitro, ex vivo, instrumental and clinical evaluation of a topical cream on the signs of periorbital ageing.
Int J Cosmet Sci
August 2024
Skin Research and Innovation, Global Personal Care and Skin Health R&D, Colgate-Palmolive Company, Piscataway, New Jersey, USA.
Objective: Periorbital skin ageing signs are multidimensional, highly visible and a concern for many. We evaluated the potential efficacy of an eye cream to diminish these signs.
Methods: Biological markers associated with ageing, barrier function and homeostasis were analysed in vitro to determine the effects of topically applied eye cream, compared to those of a placebo using human skin tissue models and/or explants.
A Novel Melanin-Targeted F-PFPN Positron Emission Tomography Imaging for Diagnosing Ocular and Orbital Melanoma.
Korean J Radiol
August 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China.
Article Synopsis
- F-PFPN is a new PET probe targeting melanin, aimed at diagnosing ocular and orbital melanoma, and was evaluated in a study with three patients who had confirmed melanoma.
- The study found that F-PFPN successfully detected all tumors in these patients, whereas the conventional F-FDG PET detected only two of the three tumors.
- Results indicated that F-PFPN provided significantly higher uptake values and less interference from surrounding tissues compared to F-FDG, suggesting its potential as a better diagnostic tool for melanoma.
Evaluation of the effectiveness of picosecond KTP and fractional thulium lasers on pigmented-type periorbital dark circles.
Lasers Med Sci
July 2024
Ministry of Health, Jamal Abdel Nasser street, PO Box 5, Sulibikhat, 2170, Kuwait.
Objective: To determine the effectiveness of picosecond KTP in reducing peri-ocular dark circles caused mainly by excessive pigmentation and to compare Picosecond KTP with Thulium laser ability in reducing the intensity and extent of peri-ocular dark circles.
Materials And Methods: This split-face prospective study included twelve women with periorbital dark circles (pigmented or mixed-pigmented type). The left lower eyelid was treated using the PicoHi machine (HIRONIC Ltd), a full beam Q-switched Nd-YAG provided by KTP crystal (523 nm) at settings of 0.
