Irritation from eye drops

I've had glaucoma for many years and always insist on preservative free drops to reduce pressure. Recently my eyes are constantly irritating although I use preservative free moisturising drops. Has anyone else had problems with Trusopt or Fixapost after using them for some time?

Hi there. Sometimes irritation can develop overtime, we are all different. It is not unheard of to have irritation despite the drops being preservative free. I would suggest contacting the eye secretary to try and change your drops to something else, as it could bring you some relief.

Not what you're looking for?
