Abstract
In addition to atopic eczema contact allergies are the main cause of recurring periorbital eczema. There are only few case reports about periorbital contact dermatitis due to topical therapy of glaucoma, especially of parasympathicomimetics causing contact eczema. We report about a 69-year old female patient with bilateral periorbital eczema. Because of a glaucoma she received several local antiglaucomatosa within the last years. The patch-test revealed an allergic reaction for Aceclidin (Glaucotat®). Contact allergies due to topical cholinergica are only rarely found. However, their sentitization potential shouldn't be underestimated, especially in the group of glaucoma-patients.
