Vyzulta or Latanoprost?
I am about to need to purchase my first bottle of Vyzulta. My first two bottles were samples but I can’t get anymore for free. They brought the pressure in my bad eye from 31 to 20. I live in the US and with my medical plan, the first bottle will cost me about US$550. After that they will be about

NTG and thin corneas
Hi I was diagnosed with NTG in my left eye over 20 years ago. Since then my pressures have been stable with apparently no cause for concern. Last year I had a severe infection in both eyes which has increased the pressure in my left eye from 11 to 14. I didn't think that was too bad as it had been

Whose advice should I follow?
I had a trabeculectomy 18 months ago. Last July I went to a Moorfields virtual clinic for monitoring. I received a letter from the doctor a few days later to say that my visual field on the operated eye was gradually worsening & that I would be seen at the Consultant led clinic four months later. I

Drops affecting eyelashes
I'm 41, had a combined trab & lens replacement in right eye 2 years ago and just lens replacement in left eye a few months later. 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

Anyone had a bad reaction to Bimatoprost ?
When I was first diagnosed with glaucoma I was given Latanoprost but had to stop using those due to extreme itchiness . I then moved on to using Bimatoprost , which at first seemed fine , no irritation . However , after a few weeks I began to feel very tired but blamed being hypothyroid even though

lower limit for iop
I have normal pressure open angle glaucoma. On diagnosis pressures were around 16 if I remember correctly. Damage seems to continue, I’ve been put on drops, first latanoprost, did nothing, then bitamoprost, which has reduced to 11/12. I’ve just had a cataract done on L eye and the specsavers follow

Eye drops
I have recently been diagnosed with suspected glaucoma. The consultant prescribed Latanoprost 50 microgram, one drop per day. I have the Thea Eyot eye drop dispenser, but whether I use that or not I have trouble getting the eye drop to land in the eyelid pocket as recommended. I wonder whether anyone

red inflamed area around my eye
hi there, I use Latanoprost and Dorzolamide eye drops following a closed angle glaucoma last year. Recently the area around my eye has become very red and inflamed and itchy. Has this happened to anyone else? My doctor gave me steroid cream which has helped a bit. Thanks

Latanoprost drops advice
Hi, any advice on eye drops, Ive been prescribed Latanoprost but will these make my eyes sore, should I ask for preservative free? Is it best to put them in just before bed and does it have to be the same time each evening, thanks.

Adverse reaction to eyedrops
I was prescribed Latanoprost for one eye. After two doses I experienced severe pain in the eye which lasted at least eight hours. I stopped taking the drops and the bad pain subsided. But I still feel mild discomfort in the eye and it feels a bit gritty. At night I feel mild discomfort in the eye and

Longtime glaucoma patient
Hi. I just wanted to say that my experience with Glaucoma has been over many, many years. I’ve been very fortunate to have had treatment, isoptocarpine which was horrible. I have Myopia and these drops made it almost impossible to see for any length of time. They were to reduce the eye pressure quickly

Bilateral iridotomies and high pressures
Hi Everyone, I went for my 6 week follow up appt. 3 months post procedure due to shortage of appts. I had been told to stop the latanoprost 1 week before the appt. My pressures were 25 but I was told that the laser treatment had been successful but I needed drops for life. I don't understand how

Glaucoma and hayfever nasal spray
Excellent forum, thanks; I can't understand why I haven't found it previously. I have glaucoma in one eye, IOP in both eyes was previously managed by bimatoprost / timolol eye drops. My IOP followed the familiar path of slowly increasing over the years, commenced treatment with bimatoprost / timolol

Brinzolamide and Monopost: timing the drops
Hi, I am on brinzolamide and monopost drops. My consultant today advised that my twice a day brinzolamide must be administered 12 hourly and the closer to this the better to maintain a dosage profile that prevents any rises in intraocular pressure. I was sometimes an hour out and this was considered
