Glaucoma after corneal transplantation is a main cause of ocular morbidity after penetrating keratoplasty. The use of topical treatments to control intraocular pressure is the first-line treatment for this sequela (1). Contact allergy to topical β-blockers is a well-recognized side-effect of glaucoma treatment. We report a case of allergic contact dermatitis caused by the β-blocker timolol in eyedrops. Patch test result showed cross-sensitivity/co-reactivity to levobunolol.
