For Intraocular Hypertension "Very effective in decreasing eye pressure from 34 to 19 in one week. Side effects started increasing at two weeks, including blurriness, eye discomfort, drowsiness, and syncope. I am stopping Simbrinza on day 15."

For Intraocular Hypertension "This is an addendum to the review I wrote on 12/15/19: The feeling of fatigue and drowsiness after applying Simbrinza is consistent and may even have gotten a bit more intense. I also discovered that this drug drops my blood pressure by 20-30 points systolic and 5-10 points diastolic for about 2-3 hours after applying the drops. Not a big problem for me, as my 'normal' blood pressure is a little on the high side. If you normally have low blood pressure, be aware of this."
