Zioptan (tafluprost) "With Zioptan, my intraocular pressure fell, in one month, from R15 L14 to R12, L11. My ophthalmologist is delighted. He says that, if this result holds, I will be his third patient to experience a dramatic drop. He says that some people -- with hopes that I am one -- seem predisposed by heredity to an excellent response to Zioptan. No side effects."

Zioptan (tafluprost) "After trying five glaucoma meds to which I was allergic to all of them, I was ecstatic to find Zioptan. Not only did my pressures drop tremendously and stayed there, but I finally had no side effects. There are no preservatives in Zioptan. The preservatives in most of the other meds gave me the allergic reactions."

"I have used this Saflutan for 6 years now at night only. I use another eye drop in the daytime. I find if I am late in using either of my medication, I have headaches. I have no problems with this eye drop. So far, I did not want to change, but suddenly our drug companies here seem to have slowed down the importation. I have to switch this week to Zalatan. I will try one eye first as I want to be careful about side reactions."

Zioptan (tafluprost) "My intraocular pressure dropped dramatically, and I liked that it was daily. Unfortunately, my Medicare supplement didn’t cover it, and it was quite costly."

Zioptan (tafluprost) "I have been using Zioptan for a little over a year. I had developed allergies to the preservatives in my previous drops, and Zioptan has been a wonderful change. My pressures are normal, and the swelling, itching, and peeling of my eyelids and the skin around my eyes has totally cleared up."
