what kind of side effects Bill?
Thank you for the reply NewShOe.
I’ve felt generally more tired than normal and occasionally very slightly dizzy. Vision not as clear as before I started the dry eye drops.
I use that combination (as Simbrinza), Bill and I find the drowsiness and occasional wooziness to be a side effect even without the dry eye drops.
What I did read on here is to leave at least 30 mins between the medication and the dry eye drops; perhaps that, and punctual occlusion to minimise the amount of medication going into your body (as opposed to your eye), might help?
Not what you're looking for?
