Hello everyone,
I was put on Tiopex as an 'extra' morning drop to add to my brinzolomide 3 times a day and Lumigan at night.
Unfortunately, after using the tiopex for 12 days, my left eye became very sensitive and sore, with pain in and around the eye and then a bad headache above that eye! I tried to carry on with the tiopex but had to stop because of the pain. I have now not used them for 4 mornings and my eye is white again and no soreness, thank goodness! Strangely, my right eye has stayed fine throughout.
Anyway, l wondered if anyone else has had a similar experience?
I think that I'm having a bad reaction to timolol?
The hospital now want to put me on iopodine 1mg, but I'm not sure
about that. They haven't discussed anything with me about any of this, just told me to go to the hospital and collect the prescription from them!
Just to add to everything they already tried me on Ganfort and l had the same bad reaction to that drop after 3 days, but affecting the other eye!
The doctor is trying to get my pressures down to 12, they are currently 16.
Can anyone offer any advice please? Many thanks, Kate
