Comment:
stinging in both eyes upon application. Goes away in several minutes. Doc wants me to continue to try to see if I can get pressure in both eyes to decrease further than with original drops. If stinging continues or other symptoms develope will stop usgae and go back to original prescribed drops.

I seem to have lost my distance vision and also seem to be more short of breath. Also my eyes do not adjust from light to dark for several minutes. Have been on this drug for about 2 years and have seen a drop in my eye pressure.

Comment:
Experienced stinging in my left eye immediately after use. After about four weeks, developed headaches, pain behind eyes and my blood sugar levels increased. It controlled my eye pressure but had to stop due to headaches and increase in blood sugar levels.
