For Glaucoma, Open Angle "I've been using Lumigan for about 12 years. Of all the different drops out there (and I've tried them all), Lumigan is the most effective at reducing my IOP. I also currently use Alphagan and Timoptic. Side effects, for me, include some redness and dryness of the eyes, darkening of the skin around the eyes, and longer eyelashes. My eyes were quite dark to begin with, so I can't comment on the darkening of the iris Lumigan and other drops in its class are known for."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "Which of these posters are using 0.03 solution vs. 0.01? Without knowing that, these posts are mostly not helpful. I took it for my first night after trying Latanoprost for a week and resting for a month. I use Bausch & Lomb Lumify wetting drops during the day. It would also be helpful to know whether these negative side effects — if they are real — began early. Were they mild but detectable early on, or did they just suddenly appear? So far I have redness."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "One month on Lumigan 0.01% and experiencing blurred vision and a feeling that I have something in my eyes. Lots of itching, irritation, and redness around my eyes. Eye pressure has reduced, but the side effects are very bothersome. I definitely do not want to use this as a long-term solution. Hopefully, there is an alternative."
