AI Article Synopsis
- Laser eyebrow hair removal can cause serious eye complications, specifically unilateral anterior uveitis, in patients.
- Two case studies detail patients who experienced symptoms such as eye pain and redness after laser treatment without protective eyewear.
- After treatment with eye drops, both patients recovered completely within a week and had normal eye exams after three months, highlighting the importance of safety precautions during such procedures.
Article Abstract
Purpose: Laser-assisted epilation of eyebrow hair has become a common practice, but a number of ocular complications can occur. We report the cases of 2 patients who had unilateral anterior uveitis after having undergone laser removal of eyebrow hair.
Methods: This report describes 2 patients who experienced eye pain, photophobia, redness, and edema after undergoing alexandrite (755 nm) laser epilation of the eyebrow area while not wearing protective eyewear or a corneal shield.
Results: Eye examinations revealed that both patients had conjunctival injection, endothelial keratic precipitates, and cells in the anterior chamber of one eye. They were treated with topical cyclopentolate and steroid eye drops. Within a week, their symptoms had disappeared, and anterior chamber reactions were not seen. At their 3-month follow-ups, their visual acuity was 20/20, and eye examination results were normal for both eyes of each patient.
Conclusions: Laser-assisted epilation of eyebrow hair can lead to unilateral anterior uveitis, and individuals must be informed about the risks involved in laser eyebrow epilation.

Correlation Among Psoriasis, Iridocyclitis, and Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Insights from Mendelian Randomization and Mediation Analysis.
Int J Med Sci
January 2025
Department of hepatobiliary surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an 710061, China.
The aim of this study is to utilize two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) to investigate the potential causal relationship among psoriasis, iridocyclitis, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and to explore any potential mediation effects. Pooled data were derived from the public genome-wide association study (GWAS) in NAFLD (finn-b-NAFLD), iridocyclitis (finn-b-H7_IRIDOCYCLITIS) and psoriasis (finn-b-L12_PSORI_VULG). Univariable MR (UVMR) analysis was implemented to explore the causal relationship among psoriasis, iridocyclitis, and NAFLD, and inverse variance weighting (IVW) was used as the primary analytical method.
