Newly diagnosed.

I have very recently been diagnosed with Glaucoma, does anyone here use Eysano eye drops? Are they as good as Timolol eye drops? I am a contact lens wearer and hoping to carry on wearing them. Any info greatly received.

Hi Nala. Eysano eye drops are exactly the same as Timolol. Timolol is the generic name and Eysano the name of the company or brand name. The Eysano drops come in a bottle without preservatives, which is a good thing and better for the eye. You will still be able to wear your contact lenses but just be aware that you leave 15 minutes after putting your drop in before putting your lenses back. I hope that is helpful to you.
