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!"

For Glaucoma "My eyes are very red, and everyone thinks I have been smoking weed-that's how bad they look. They hurt and are light sensitive. I am going to ask to change to something else. I can't deal with this."
