Hair Growth Drug May Increase Risk of Retinal Artery Occlusion 👨
Long-term use of 5% minoxidil caused retinal opacification, thinning and atrophy, and a superior field defect, in a young male patient, researchers report. reviewofoptometry.com/article/hair-growth-drug-may-increase-risk-of-retinal-artery-occlusion
Although ocular side effects are usually rare, a recent case report found topical 5% minoxidil treatment may have caused an inferior hemiretinal artery occlusion in a 21-year-old Asian male. He presented with sudden-onset blurry vision and superior visual field loss in his right eye. The patient was previously diagnosed with androgenic alopecia and was on a topical 5% minoxidil spray regimen 2x/day for the past 3 years.
The patient’s corrected distance visual acuity was 6/6, N6 in both eyes, while his IOP in both eyes and left eye fundus exam were within normal limits. However, his right eye fundus exam showed features suggestive of inferior hemiretinal artery occlusion, which were confirmed on fluorescein angiography and OCT.

Easy understanding about the refractive errors:

Emmetropia: Describe a person's vision when absolutely no refractive error, images formed on an emmetropic eye are perfectly clear and precise.

Myopia (close objects are clear, and distant objects are blurry): Also known as nearsightedness, myopia is usually inherited and often discovered in childhood. Myopia often progresses throughout the teenage years when the body is growing rapidly.

Hyperopia (close objects are more blurry than distant objects)：Also known as farsightedness, hyperopia can also be inherited. Children often have hyperopia, which may lessen in adulthood. In mild hyperopia, distance vision is clear while near vision is blurry. In more advanced hyperopia, vision can be blurred at all distances.

Astigmatism： Astigmatism usually occurs when the front surface of the eye, the cornea, has an asymmetric curvature or uneven. Normally the cornea is smooth and equally curved in all directions, and light entering the cornea is focused equally on all planes, or in all directions. In astigmatism, the front surface of the cornea is curved more in one direction than in another. This abnormality may result in vision that is much like looking into a distorted, wavy mirror. Usually, astigmatism causes blurred vision at all distances.
