Monopost/Latanaprost & palpitations at night
Hi everyone, I was prescribed Monopost eye drops for raised pressure behind the eyes, which I've had for years. I had an Iridotomy several years ago which kept the pressures under control for a while, then they increased again. Visual field tests always seem fine. In March this year the consultant

Swimming with Glaucoma
Hi, I love swimming be it in a pool or the sea. Do I need to take any precautions, please, if I had to wear goggles what type and where to buy. Any advice please. I use dorzolamide, which is ok except for the bitter after taste which I can get hours after using it and latanoprost which again is fine

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

Pain A While After Laser
Hi I’m a newbie. I was diagnosed with closed angle glaucoma in 2019. I’ve had 2 lots of laser treatment, both eyes. My last laser treatment was January, my follow up appointment was in February, since then I get a dull ache in my eyes, intermittently. Does this happen to anyone else? I do have dry eyes

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
