Both eye drops treat the same ailments of the eye, Cosopt treats chronic open-angle glaucoma being the only difference, however please double check it with an doc/pharmacist.

Thanks so much for your imput. My husband also has, trouble sleeping and he can't see a regular doctor for another two weeks. Would benadryl or one of my ambients sleep aids harm him?
Most welcome, I would not recommend you husband to have meds without talking to a doc/pharmacist, please.
No worries. I simply wanted to be informed, before , he meets his new primary care doctor. He's only seen specialist thus far, and those people, tend to have tunnel vision.It's difficult for them to see beyond their own field.
Take care, & wish him all the best, please.
