Saw a different Dr & she said that they weren’t too bad, not any immediate rush to get them done'. Same dept, same hospital but diff Dr! She also took my eye pressures- not had

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

How long are cosopt ( timolol and dorzolamide) eye drops effective for after each application?
I have narrow angle glaucoma , diagnosed around 12 years ago, have been on various eye drops for that time ( more added as my glaucoma progressed) and had laser iridotomy in both eyes 6 years ago. My pressures have never been over 21 and for the last few years have been around 12-14. My glaucoma has

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

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

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

latanoprost and headaches
hi I’ve been using latanoprost eye drops for 7 weeks now, I have suspicious discs and a family history of glaucoma ( mother) and when prescribed my pressures were 22 in both eyes. For the last week I have woken with a headache, and I’m wondering if this could be related to the eye drops, as this is

medication
hi Is the an alternative to Latanoprost drops, that doesn’t need to be kept chilled? It’s the hassle of being on holiday and trying to maintain a chilled storage. If there is an alternative can I mix and match with latanprost or would it have to be a permanent switch? The latanoprost is obviously

Timolol side effects?
That was also the day I was switched from
latanoprost
to
latanoprost
/
timolol
. Can timolol cause all of the above? I had SLT three weeks ago and I am waiting for check-up in three weeks time, so hopefully I can change drops. But has anyone experienced something similar?

Latanoprost (Monopost)
My Chemist is having difficulty in getting Latanoprost drops and now I am getting worried! Is anybody else having difficulty getting this and is there a shortage?

Hylo Tear before eye drops
I take Timolol twice a day (10 am & 10pm). One day a week I need to be out by 9.15 and so take my Timolol early. As I do voluntary work on a local Nature Reserve it is not a very appropriate place to be taking the Hylo Tear. So I would like to administer the lubricant BEFORE the Timolol. While the instructions

Tissue Press Method for Instilling Eyedrops
Hello from Canada. While I am new here, I am not new to glaucoma. I’ve been taking drops for 10 years and have had two SLT surgeries. Covid delays have really slowed testing and seeing an opthamologist so I am really not sure about the progression of my glaucoma. I have to wait until April for a visual

Loss of central vision after starting to use Latanoprost
Hi everyone - great to find this community. I have been trying to find if anyone has had a similar experience to me. I have had high myopia since I was a child. Think I am about -13 to -14. My main issue started in 2008 when the cataract in my left eye thickened considerably. I then had cataracts

Drops not working
I was put on
latanoprost
/
timolol
but that is not working either. I have now lost some vision in one eye. I asked to have SLT and I am waiting to get that done but the doctor said that if Latanoprost doesn’t work SLT will not work either. Is it true? I can’t find much online.
