Comment:
I had many of the side effects like blurred vision, dizziness, and inflammation in and around the eye with matter build up. I am being treated for all the symptoms and when I had an eye appointment, the eye doctor said the eye drops were my problem and the eye pressures had increased from 18 to 24 in both eyes in 3 months time.

Eyelid crusting which I had trouble convincing my provider. This was followed by red eyeballs and irritation. Eyes often glued shut by morning.

Comment:
I previously reviewed these drops after using one time. I decided to try them again & have used them now for almost 3 months with no side effects that I can say are coming from them. I do have bad sinus allergies but I hope they are from the outside air & not these drops. I use them at night, & they have lasted almost 3 months.

Comment:
My eye doctor prescribed these drops for my eye pressure. I used it one night, & have had terrific irritation & tearing ever since so I'm afraid to use it again. Directions say not to use if you have low blood pressure, which I have & wasn't mentioned by my doctor or pharmacist.
