Postapplication of brinzolamide eye drops patient experienced mucoid eye discharge starting 10 minutes after application of eye drops and persistingfor ½ hr. Slit lamp examination findings did not reveal any signs of infection. She gave a history of mucoid discharge since the day she was started onbrinzolamide eye drops. There are only two case reports describing mucoid discharge following brinzolamide eye drops. Thus, we report a similarscenario in our patient. We report this case so as to avoid unnecessary suspicion of infection in such cases.Keywords: Glaucoma, mucoid, infection
