Levobunolol eye drops
are a prescription beta-blocker used to lower high eye pressure (intraocular pressure) in patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma

1. The 1999 Case (British Journal of Ophthalmology): A 68-year-old man reported his eyes changing from brown to blue after 5 years of using levobunolol twice daily.

2. The 2006 Case Series (IOVS/ARVO): This study reported on two additional patients (a 59-year-old and a 72-year-old) who experienced bilateral iris depigmentation after 10 and 8 years of chronic levobunolol use.

3rd case - Same as 1 and 2

Mechanism: Researchers hypothesize that levobunolol might have an affinity for pigmented tissue or could induce a pharmacological "Horner’s syndrome" state that leads to lightening.

Standard Side Effects: For the vast majority of users, levobunolol remains a non-pigment-changing beta-blocker, unlike prostaglandin analogs (e.g., Latanoprost), which frequently and permanently darken eye colour.

What I think: Maybe there should be a lot same cases like this I mean come on these are old people and they don't even use internet and this is not also a very big health issue that colour changing effect is completely normal

so my question is: is there any here on org who has experienced this iris depigmentation (the loss of brown pigment) while on this medication/eye drops. So please let me know

Should I take the risk and document it?

Definitely worth it
And it’s safe all it does it decrease eye pressure but I’m not sure if you should use it if your eye pressure is naturally very low

Whether it will work is just a coin flip because it’s only reported in 3 cases. People dnt get it prescribed nowadays so I’m not sure if that could be why
