Comment:
The medication is very effective, added to latanaprost and timolol, but the bottle lids are so tight that my wife could not open this last one without using two wrenches, and most of the liquid seeped out. She could hear the liquid before getting the lid off, but not afterward. This medication is costing $90 per small 2.5ml bottle under our insurance plan.

Comment:
I was taking Bimatoprost drops nightly and Diamox tablets twice daily, then added Rhopressa in place of Diamox at night. It kept the pressure down well but after about 90 days I started tearing up badly and seeing double. Went back to Diamox twice daily and things cleared up in a couple of weeks.
