After laser treatment (successful) for closed-angle glaucoma, these drops were prescribed by the ophthalmologist 4 x daily for one week. Greatly increased eye pressure and inflammation followed these drops and are still a problem more than a week after treatment.

I only hope I can get through another 4 weeks with the drop
