xalatan
The overwhelming problem with the medicine Zioptan is the cost. It is preservative free equivalent of latanoprost. Almost no one is allergic to latanoprost. moreover since the dose is one drop per eye per day very few people have any problem with allergy. So I use very little zioptan in my practice due to cost problems.
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.
It varies depending on the surgeon and how severe the glaucoma is and what other glaucoma medications the person is on. Some surgeons stop latanoprost and other similiar drugs Lumigan and Travatan Z others don't.
It is due to the macula of the eye changing from dark vision adaptation (scotopic) to light adaptation (photopic) the macula changes at a different rate than the peripheral retina accounting for the round central location. This is a type of entoptic phenomena which accounts for many postings on this website.
I paid $250 for a medication I usually pay $40 for and on checking that was the reason. There is a generic latanoprost but its not as strong or as long acting.
s instructions. My doctor is aware that I have glaucoma in both eye for which I continue to use Latanaprost Ophtalmic Solutioneye drops. I put the drops on each eye before I go to bed as I always did before. I have been waiting about 5 minutes and then put eye drops in my eyes before I go to bed. May I have some feedback as to what I need to do?...
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?
Lumigan is a glaucoma medication that is put directly on the eye. Latisse is the same medication, different packaging for eyelash growth and it is painted on the eyelashes with a brush.
I suppose the study that was completed 12/31/09 for growing eyelashes was only done on upper lid eyelashes.
Then that's all that the FDA will allow them to say.
Hello I am in bromonadine for my glaucoma. I feel like it's making me very sleepy and causing dry mouth and sometimes eye pain. My doctor says these are not usual symptoms aka not real. Does anyone else have these experiences or similar? Thanks.
ve just had an advanced cataract removed from my left eye and monvision iol used and I hoped for a big vision improvement, but there is significant glaucoma involvement and what I thought I was a fully ripe cataract seems to be glaucoma vision loss. (I'm still still just 2 weeks post op.) A lot of my peripheral vision remains, though this has yet to be tested post op. I was completely unaware I had developed glaucoma in one eye.
