"With Zioptan my intra ocular 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."

"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 had no side effects, but my pressure actually went up a few points. My eyelashes did not thicken but they grew longer."

"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."

"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. "
