For Glaucoma "Used Combigan 1 time. Stings when you put it in, but not horrible. Immediate headache, then queasiness. Woke up this morning, and I cannot see with or without my glasses unless I look through the bifocal. Reading is almost impossible, as is writing this review. I am hoping this drug has not done permanent damage to my eyes. Trying not to panic. Will go to doc this morning."

For Glaucoma "After 1 week of taking Combigan, I developed Sjögren’s syndrome, dry eyes, dry mouth, inability to sweat, nasal dryness, severe headache, altered mood change, depression, severe dehydration, muscle pain, burning respiratory tract on breathing among many other things... it’s just horrible. I also developed hypotension."

For Glaucoma "I have been diagnosed with glaucoma 8 months ago, and this drug was my third option since the other two were stronger with severe side effects. I ended up experiencing the same horrible side effects with this one as well: severe headaches, depression, eye pain, sensitivity to light, extreme dry eyes, dry mouth, nasal dryness, low moods, no energy, blurry vision, heavy eyelids, my daily functioning impacted, forgetting things, felt horrible every day. I stopped using it, and I need to do the laser treatment because my pressure is still high."

For Glaucoma "I have pigmentary glaucoma. I used Combigan for 3 years. It worked great, keeping my pressure around 12-14. However, in the mornings, my eyes would be super red, and I started having headaches around my eyes. Maybe I was on it for too long. I got my eye doctor to change my medication. I've been on Cosopt for a month now, and I haven't had any more headaches. My eyes are not as red anymore!"
