Has anyone lost their sense of smell after using the eye drops. For some time now I’ve wondered if the drops were the culprit.

Hello Cuzz
I lost my sense of smell around the time I was diagnosed with glaucoma but as I also had a lot of sinus trouble at that stage of my life I didn't know which caused the loss of mu sense of smell.
This was over 35 years ago and while my sinus problem have cleared up (by moving to a a different part of the UK) I still have glaucoma and hardly any sense of smell. The big exception is I can smell gas well before my husband. I'm sure that means something but I don't know what 😀
There's no doubt it's inconvenient not being able to smell things, especially things like food, but on the whole, it hasn't really bothered me.
Hope you don't get bothered by it. Good Luck.
