hi I’ve had various drops over my 7 years of being diagnosed with glaucoma my consultant has just added diozolomide drops into my Monopost Timilol mix what’s your experience of these drops as I’ve not been able to get a single drop out the bottle either nothing or too much also what side effects if any

Now the only drops I take are Dorzolamide timolol in the left eye, twice a day.I switched to the preservative free drops a few months ago but I think it's negatively affecting my lashes? Right eye with no drops, the lashes are normal but the left eye, the lashes seem to be getting shorter!

I’ve been using these drops for about 15 years. The pharmacist regularly provides different brands. Sometimes they have difficulty obtaining the drops. This is the first time I have been given eylamdol brand and I’m finding it really difficult to drop into my eyes. I’ve read the leaflet and practiced

Hi I wondered if others have had any experience yet of what seems to be a relatively new eye drop. Roclanda is a mixture of Latanoprost and Netarsudil (which is a RHO Kinase inhibitor). I heard this mentioned on one of the Glaucoma UK online support group presentations earlier this year and it seemed

Hi from a newbie. I was prescribed Fixpost for high eye pressure about 6 weeks ago.. The drops seemed fine for about 5 weeks but now they make both eyes sting badly all day. I did stop taking them for a day and my eyes recovered. Tried them again the next day and same problem. I have contacted the

Hello, I would like to thank you all for your very helpful and interesting replies to my previous post. I have not started taking the statins yet, but I heard back from my eye consultant yesterday and he assured me I was ok to take the statins and blood pressure tablets with my current eye medication

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

Hello, I have been searching for other people who are/have been pregnant and have glaucoma. I am 33 years old and I have glaucoma. I have been on latanoprost drops for 2 years and they recently stopped working for me and I started to lose some vision, so I was put on timolol drops as well, which have

Hi, I am looking for some help as hubby and I are struggling after his Trabeculectomy in March was described by his surgeon as a ‘spectacular failure’ ( his body healed the bleb and pressure went up to 60) .

Hi all I was recently diagnosed glaucoma in one eye. Previously I was prescribed Timolol and Latanoprost on separate occasions, I had a bad reactions to both of them. Latanoprost was particularly bad ( shortness of breath, chest pain, tightness of throat), ended up calling ambulance. I'm now scared

I was diagnosed with glaucoma in April and am trying to get to grips with things - so apologies if this is a stupid question! I have just had my eye drops changed to Brinzolamide (twice a day) and Travoprost (once at night). Previously I was using Latanaprost only at night and Timolol only in the morning

Hi. I was recently diagnosed with secondary open angle glaucoma in my right eye. I was prescribed Latanoprost (1 drop in both eyes at night) and Timolol (1 drop in right eye in the morning). I started taking these on 7 May. Initially I didn’t appear to have any side effects from the drops but for

Hi all, I have been diagnosed 'Ocular Hypertension' (27/23).

As a 75 yr old with heart disease, ( triple bypass 10yrs ago ) I’ve been diagnosed with the onset of glaucoma. I’ve been prescribed two eye drop medications. Travoprost, and Brinzolamide/Timolol Mylan. The side effects fact sheet is a pretty scary read etc, with particular emphasis on the heart. I

I posted here a few weeks ago about being made to switch from small bottles of Dorzolomide to single dose units. (Both are preservative-free.) I have now moved over to these and have to say the plastic units are so badly made as to be barely usable. Once I finally get into the foil pack (I have to

I have had glaucoma now for about 8-9 years, and using Latanoprost/timolol drops which is keeping my pressure at an aceptable level. I have got used to some staining below my eyes which I believe is a possible side effect. I had my first cataract removed in April of this year and my second 7 weeks ago

Pre trabeculectomy I was on lantoprost for 3 months and it didn’t really lower my eye pressure and for the other eye I was on it for 6 months pre surgery.
