How do I accept the news of some vision loss?
Am on
bimatoprost
&
timolol
combined. Pressures last month down from 30 & 35 to 16 &19 but consultant wants to reduce them further. How do I cope with the shock of losing some vision permanently & my delayed treatment? Would really value anyone’s advice thank you.

Eyedrops & breastfeeding
Hello! I have a 3 week old baby and my consultant told me to completely come off my eyedrops so I can breastfeed, they now feel like I need to go on them again with funny pulling sensation and headaches. Has anyone every breastfed on medication? I'm taking timoptol 0.5% and brinzolomide. Thanks in advance

Emergency cataract operation
As I have bilateral pseudoexfoliation and my left eye pressure is now above 30, and risen on each recent visit my consultant decided today that the way forward is an emergency cataract operation. He explained that due to the pseudoexfoliation there are risks and therefore a senior surgeon would carry

Where can I get Iopidine preservative free eye drops?
Can anyone help me find a pharmacist that can supply the Iopidine preservative free eye drops that I was prescribed on March 26th. Boots after three attempts have said they can’t get them, phoned eye hospital today and they have said I need to find them as they can’t help me even though they prescribed

Help can’t get eye drops
Hi Everyone Happy Easter 🐣 Due to very high pressures my consultant has tried me on dorzolamide, which unfortunately I had a bad reaction to. The latest new drop is Iopidine, which after days of trying my pharmacist says they are not able to source. It will be almost two weeks without the new drops

Newly diagnosed.
I have very recently been diagnosed with Glaucoma, does anyone here use Eysano eye drops? Are they as good as Timolol eye drops? I am a contact lens wearer and hoping to carry on wearing them. Any info greatly received.

Long running prescription issues
I've had problems getting my drops for the last year, can get all my other meds with no problems, but recently it's getting really bad, I should get 10ml Dorzolomide& Timolol monthly, the last 2 scripts had given me 5ml, enough for 2 weeks, also it appears that GP surgery have over ruled the eye hospital

Usage of Timolol is suitable for night time?
Hi all, There are some advices that Timolol is not effective at night time for reducing IOP. And as it has a side effect to lower blood pressure, it seems using this before sleeping may bring some risk to optic nerve (as low blood pressure with high IOP at night can lead to low perfusion pressure,

Repeated optic disc bleeds with Normal Tension Glaucoma
I had glaucoma diagnosed in 2016. My mother also had it and my sister. Since diagnosis I have had repeated optic disc haemorrhages in both eyes despite my pressures being on average about 15.( Normal tension glaucoma) The eye drops have frequently been changed and I am now on Simbrinza and Bimatoprost

Dorzolamide affecting athletic performance?
hello, I started using Dorzolamide drops, 2x daily starting in March in addition to Latanaprost (since probably 10 years now). Not long after, I noticed a marked drop in athletic performance on the bicycle (via training logs) From what I can tell this is not a usual side-effect, and my Dr. had said as

Update 18 weeks after 2nd ozurdex
Hi guys. Had my review today. Last review showed oedema completely gone but unfortunately it hasn't lasted and the oct shows oedema has returned. Consultant thinks my condition has become chronic. I'm getting another implant in about 5 weeks and staying on the timolol drops for the raised eye pressure

Update 5weeks after 2nd ozurdex implant
Hi guys, I've had great news. My oedema is completely gone! Best result in 2 1/2yrs. I know it's still early days but I'm allowing myself a week of euphoria!!! Next review in 3 months ( apparently there has to be a 5 mnth gap before next implant if I need it). It was good to to hear consultant say I

Update on 12 week post ozurdex implant.
Hi all, well yet again I'm bucking the odds. After a good result at wk 8 Oedema is now back, IOP is reduced though (after 2wks no timolol drops). Yes, it's expected to be the other way round! Surprisingly I was given the option to go back to inj or another implant. Wasn't expecting a choice and had to
