Simbrinza eye drops

Does anyone using Simbrinza have problems with a side effect of blurriness? I was on Xalatan for 9 years without any problems, but my ophthalmologist changed me to Simbrinza 2 months ago hoping my eye pressure would not increase so rapidly after an eye injection.

Hello. One of the common side effects mentioned on the patient information leaflet that comes with the eyedrop is blurred vision. If it is something that is affecting you daily and is prolonged you can get back to your consultant and make them aware. They may be able to change your drops.

Thank you, Trish. He changed it to the same prescription but as two different drops and leaving out the part that was causing the problem.
