Brimonidine / brinzolamide ophthalmic for Glaucoma, Open Angle "My life is bad since I’m taking those drops, red eyes, pain like I got sand in my eyes. In March, I’m going to see my doc. If I’m going to be blind, it’s better than this suffering. If there is no other alternative, I’m talking about Simbrinza drops."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "My eye doctor started me on Zioptan first, and I immediately had groin pain and upper thigh numbness. My doctor then added Brinzolamide 1% along with Zioptan. My groin pain intensified, along with upper thigh numbness, tingling, shooting pain with electric shock sensations. I stopped the Zioptan, thinking it was the first side effects, but the symptoms did not stop, but intensified with Brinzolamide. The electric shocks got so intense I could not sleep, so I stopped both eye drops. The electric shocks have stopped, and the numbness went away. I still have some soreness in the upper thigh muscle, but I can sleep again. I would like to find a natural remedy to lower my eye pressure and not put this poison in my eyes."
