My partner has glaucoma. He has had this for many years and manages with daily eye drops. He hasn’t flown for a number of years. Is there a problem with flying?

there is no problem flying with glaucoma, however if this is international flight, you should alter your time for eye drops to stay in the same time zone
I have Glaucoma and fly regularly short haul. Just make sure any eye drops are in your hand luggage. If they need to be kept cool you can get a small cooling pouch to store them in on Amazon.
take the drops in a seperate plastic bag from your other liquids, as they don’t count as total, as they are a prescription they scanned separately

Hello, flying is not an issue.
Regarding time zone. Just go by the time zone you are in. Its fine to do this and saves having to recalculate to be nearest to you normal time zone.
