For Glaucoma, Open Angle "1 drop per eye, along with 2 drops Combigan; which I previously used exclusively. Been using Rocklatan for 3 weeks. Super red eyes the first 3 days; very noticeable and people were commenting. Rocklatan is also irritating my eyes. The side effects are huge for me. Next appointment is 2 weeks away; we’ll see if Rocklatan has helped lower pressure. Too many side effects... I want out!"

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "I used Rocklatan one night. The next day, my eyes were completely red. Eyelids swollen, so I couldn't see. I did not use it again. Day 3, I still can't see. Eyes aren't as red. I went back to what I was using. May have to have surgery to correct the glaucoma."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "Have been using Rocklatan for 3 weeks for glaucoma and have had minor red eyes. Tomorrow I will see the doctor to determine effectiveness. Saw the doctor, and this drug works for me. Lowered pressure by 3 points with only red eye side effects."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "I experienced glaucoma open angle in both of my eyes-red eyes, burning, watering, very extreme itchiness of the eyelashes, eyelids, and tear ducts, a feeling something was crawling in my eyes and in my tear ducts. I'd get a gritty feeling like a speck of sand was in my eye. My nasal area by my tear duct itched. My skin felt very sensitive when water would touch my eye area and forehead area. I could not apply any kind of cream on my eye area without it becoming irritated, eye pain at times. My reaction started about two months after I started using Rocklatan. My doctor just recently took me off of Rocklatan, and slowly things are improving. My eye pressure did drop using Rocklatan when taken with another drop, I just happened to have an allergy reaction to Rocklatan."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "After about 6 weeks, bloodshot eyes, followed by unbearable itching, and finally puffy bags under eyes drooping to cheeks. Horrible. I stopped immediately. I had perfect skin before, I look terrible now. Will these bags go away? Wish I could attach a picture."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "I tried Rhopressa and had bloodshot eyes, with a bleed on the right eye. Just tried Rocklatan last night. Extreme bloodshot eyes all day, dry eyes, and blurry vision! Pressure increased from 15 (after SLT surgery) to 30 (after retinal detachment surgery, sub-retinal fluid complication, and having to use Prednisolone and Prolensa). I've tried all classes of glaucoma drops and had negative reactions to all except for Prostaglandin Analogs."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "I've been using Rocklatan for almost 2 years. It has lowered my pressures about 4 to 5 points to the 11 to 12 range. Prior to adding Rocklatan to my other eye drops, my pressures were in the 15 to 16 range, which in my case was too high. My primary side effect of using it is red eyes. Cost is also high, but more insurance companies are covering it."
