Abstract

Background: Drug-induced uveitis is vision threatening and has been associated with various bioactive molecules. In this case report, we discuss a potential unique association between MiraLAX and bilateral anterior uveitis. Case Presentation We present a case of a 52-year-old gentleman with no significant medical history and a past ocular history of dry eye syndrome who developed an anaphylactic reaction and acute but mild bilateral anterior uveitis after recent MiraLAX bowel preparation for a screening colonoscopy. Extensive review of systems and screening for medical problems was otherwise unremarkable. The patient responded well to a short course of topical steroids and there were no sequelae of disease. Conclusions: : We aim to raise awareness of the potential association between MiraLAX and uveitis in order to prevent vision loss from the sequalae of disease.
