Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) in a glaucoma suspect with narrow iridocorneal angles

Purpose: Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) is an allergy to non-primate mammalian carbohydrate (galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose) which may cause anaphylaxis. Allergic patients must avoid ophthalmic drugs containing animal-derived ingredients. Observations: We report a 59-year-old non-Hispanic white woman who w...
