Hello, Ive just started using Spiriva Respimat and Alvesco 160 inhaler for my asthma over the last couple of days and noticed my eyes are sensitive to light and they feel slightly irritated. Has anyone experienced this? Thank you

That’s so weird - I’ve recently changed from seretide to Fostair and my eyes are how you describe too! I thought I was allergic to my mascara but now I’m wondering too! I have another asthma review in few weeks so will mention it then. Be interesting see other replies. Thanks

I was in hospital for my asthma last year and was given numerous different treatments various tablets fostair pred steroids for 2 months and my eye sight is a mess but don’t stop taking the medication just get it checked and don’t let them fob you off- remember sometimes we can have bad reactions to medication which could be an allergy or sensitivity but as treatment is usually trial and error to find what works it may take a few attempts to get it right just so you know I had one with monelukast it gave me migraines they kept giving me it but always the same result eventually they agreed i was allergic to it

Been on them for 18 months and have no problems. Do you think these to events are completely unrelated.
