Common Questions and Answers about Latanoprost and timolol
xalatan
There should be significant visual recovery after a week and by one month it should be pretty well healed. My doctors do not like to use latanoprost after cataract surgery because it may increase the incidence of CME (macular edema).

I was recently diagnosed with glaucoma in both eyes and prescribed eye drops to take 3x daily for the rest of my life.These eye drops are 1) Latanoprost and 2) Dorzolamide/timolol. A few weeks after taking these eye drops I notice a large rise in blood pressure (top and bottom numbers)..with my bottom number around 100. Can this be caused by the eye drop medicine?
L noticed theres a drop called Duotrav which contains timolol and brinzolamide, so l guess it sort of a combination of azarga and travatan . This is a once a day drop, l was wondering if l were to stop taking the azarga and travatan and instead take DUotrav once a day if it would be as effective but with less side effects.
Dorzolamide HCl/Timolol Maleate and 2: Latanoprost . These are all Ophthalmic solutions.
Can the cataract surgery itself, or, the eye drop drugs I am taking as listed above, cause dry eye?..and if so, what would you recommend I take, if anything, to prevent this. Thanks.
yes the elevated pressure in the eye is treated with glaucoma drops like travoprost and timolol drops,combigan,hypersol-5 solution and latanoprost ophthalmic solution......instead of all this the pressure in the eye goes up at an interval of 3-4 months approximately.
I would appreciate if you can tell me more about Timolol because I have glaucoma and that is the treatment that I am on a few months gone I had to go to the emergency because it turned up that I had an infection in the eyes and I had a difficult time keeping them open I was given some other eye drope to take for a month which did cleared it up but I want to know what cause the infection and am I taking a good eye medication .
t good, my ophthalmologist told me I may have to add another eye drop (I take latanoprost and dorzolamide+timolol now) or try SLT. IOP readings the last few years of 18 or less.
However since my right eye glaucoma may have been due to an eye trauma from 40 years ago might that reduce the chance of SLT success?
cosopt has timolol in it so you shouldn't be taking timolol and cosopt. Roklatan works different than cosopt so they are used in combination but again NOT with timolol.
He prescibed artificial tears as well as Timolol. A month down the line and no change at all. Please can you tell me a bit more about Timolol, as it does seem to have a lot of serious heart related side effects, and what more can I do to rectify this problem? What should have been a routine simple procedure has caused a great deal of discomfort and anxiety.
Thank you for your help.
That study is from 2009 and is flawed, not controlling for the fact that patients on beta blockers are in the older age groups where cataracts are more common. In any case in 2021, beta blockers have many potential side effects but cataracts is not one of them.
l'm taking Azarga which contains brinzolamide 1% and timolol 0.5% . If it is causing dark circles is that just a cosmetic or appearance problem or could it be something to worry about in terms of eye health, should l see my eye doctor about it.
However, it is my very low blood pressure that concerns my GS the most. I am still only a glaucoma suspect, and hopefully the latanoprost will keep it that way. My GS is not one to freely offer information and doesn't like answering questions either, so you've been an immense help.
I was misdiagnosed as having pressure in my eyes and was given Latanoprost eye drops which I used for 5 days and my intuition told me to stop it and get a second and third opinion which I did. I then found out I did not need to be on Latanoprost and my eye pressure was normal. I am only 45 and never had a problem with dark circles under my eyes which developed two days after I started using the eye drops.
They said that my cornea is really thick and my optic nerves are oddly shaped, but there is nothing to worry about at this time. I was prescribed latanoprost which I took and my eye pressure had decreased as it should at my follow up visit in January.
Since then, I have undergone some heart testing due to having palpitations and I ended up going off of the latanoprost, with permission from my doctor. I haven't noticed a large difference in my eyes until recently.
He started me on tobradex ST ( steroid drops) and Timolol Maleate. Then I used thera tears and systane during the day and the night time gel. As of last Friday I was doing fine, then my vision became blurry again and my left eye is like half open. ( looks like a lazy eye) never had it before. He says my inplants look great. yesterday i saw him my right eye had raised pressure to 26.5 he took me off the steroid drops left me on the timolol -glaucoma drops.
There is no way that any ophthalmologist, including your own, can tell how you will react to a change in medicine. The primary reason to use timolol at evening meal time or very early evening is primarily because it doesn't work well once you are in bed and horizontal. Also oral timolol is used to treat a variety of heart problems including high blood pressure. A very long time ago doctors used to tell patients to take some of their blood pressure meds at bedtime.
I too have had high eye pressure from some 12 years ago when I was 40 years old... and have had laser surgery and been on timolol etc etc etc ... and I truly sympathise with your partner.
Having glaucoma at such a young age is very unusual ... its an old persons's disease or there may be a history in the family.
I personally believe it was a "septic" front tooth that triggerred my condition! ... After having it removed the eye pressures subsided! ...
I never experienced this situation before. When I wake I have difficulty opening my eyes. The feel like they are stuck and won't open. I need to put eyes drops to make them work. It started about 3 weeks after I had my cataract surgery. I was instructed to use Durezol anti-inflammatory drops which I continue to use and need to continue for another 4 weeks according to the doctor's instructions.
Two days ago I was taking my bath and the bathroom got a bit steamy and I felt like the oxygen has dropped and was finding it quite difficult to breath. As I was finishing up I felt very weak and couldn't move my arms at the same speed and my vision started to fade and I could see small squares wherever I looked and my right eye was going on and off. I have glaucoma and from my last check-up which was the 5 days before this happened my pressure was within range.
