Comment:
No side effects at all. Very effective in lowering pressure when two other drops did not. No iris discoloration, but extra lash growth. Only disappointment is the volume in the vial is more than one dose and you are not supposed to use a vial for more than one days treatment - oh, and the cost since there is no generic yet.
