For Intraocular Hypertension "My side effects are depression, anxiety, pains in neck and shoulders, general aches and pains, headaches, and nausea on waking. I did not put any of these symptoms down to the eye drops until very recently, and looking back, they all started not long after starting the drops. I feel terrible and will have to change to an alternative ASAP."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "My experience with this was awful, shortness of breath. Itchy, dry eyes. I was getting panic attacks and was super depressed. My arms tingled and felt heavy. Super nauseated. Headaches and stiff neck. The worst medicine ever. Long lashes are not worth feeling so horrible."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "Straight away, eyes stinging. Using lubricant 15 mins before helps, but not with the constant burn feeling on the eyelids, that increases and gives big headaches. With only being on it for a few days, my eye sockets changed color, looks like I have eyeshadow on. Started having weird pains in my joints, flu-like symptoms, couldn’t stand this pain! So I stopped my Lumigan. In the meantime, I thought I’d go back to trying Xalatan. When I first used that, had an asthma reaction, so now I spray my Seretide spray before taking Xalatan, which helped, has no flu-like symptoms. Side effects, I do get extreme burning by 5:30 pm so extreme, I had to put aloe vera burn cream around my eyes, and cold cucumbers, which helped. Three hours later, used more aloe vera burn cream. I mean, who designed these drugs? FYI, I did try laser before, but that didn’t work on me. I must be in the 20 percent group."
