As that's a new, name to me I've just looked it up on the Internet, oops, it's a combination of Latanoprost and Timolol both drops I've used individually and when used that way I had no vision probs, might be different when combined, try and get some professional advice next week to stop yourself from worrying

Hi Julie. I'm writing to you from Finland. My son got diagnosed with narrow angle glaucoma mid December and he uses Fixopost. I think that's the same medicine. It's packed in one-time-doses and has been so far ok for him, being preservative free. All the best.

Thankyou for that Fixapost is preservative free so all good x

Hello, I've started using Fixaprost 2 days ago, besides other drops. I've not experienced blurry vision, at least for the moment. I hope it is effective and not produce dark circles around the eye (I only use it in one eye). If somebody knows a "trick" to reduce this effect please let me know, thanks!

All the best

Hello, I'm 44 and I was diagnosed more than 20 years ago, so I've living almost all my life with it. I've lost most of the vision in one eye, but in the other is still good. I drive. It is difficult sometimes to live with glaucoma but I think we must take care of ourselves and enjoy life.

How old are you? Have you been diagnosed recently?

I’ve just been prescribed this. I have normal tension glaucoma and have been on monopost for the last year or so. Pressures have been around 16 from 21 at diagnosis but consultant wants them closer to 10. Apparently fixapost should be the thing for this. Fingers crossed, will see how it goes.
