Comment:
Use drops in both eyes PM. Has lowered pressure in one but not other (which is high). Multiple side effects: fleeting pain in eyes/head, cough, runny nose, blurred vision at times, sensitivity to light, itchy eye lids, increased lash length (must trim outer lashes), back and muscle aches. However, still have my vision, so will accept the trade-off!

No problems with it. My pharmacist said it should be kept refrigerated until starting to use it. I noticed that when I go to pick it up, it's taken out of a refrigerator.

Comment:
Each time I open and use a new vial it seems to soothe my eyes. However, after a week or ten days of use my eyes sting badly for about 10 minutes after inserting the drop. This is happened each time I start a new vial.
