For Glaucoma, Open Angle "Per my doctor's suggestion, I started using Rocklatan from March 10 through June 12. Had a terrible impact on my eye-redness, tears, bloodshot eye, and pressure reached as high as 35 and 28 in the left and right eye. My doctor performed a laser in my left eye, but the pressure did not drop as much. When asked, the doctor agreed that the Rocklatan drop is not found to be effective for many patients, and I am one of them. So I went back to using XALATAN, and my pressure is gradually dropping, but much damage is done by the Rocklatan. It is also a tier 3 category for insurance reimbursement, thus, I paid $353 for one month's supply. Do not use Rocklatan just because the drug company and medical professionals are advocating for this eye drop."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "Previously used latanoprost, and IOP was about 10 mm Hg late at night and in the morning when I woke up. However, started checking IOP during the day and found a significant increase of IOP in late morning through afternoon. Sometimes the IOP increased to as high as 21, but usually 16. With Rocklatan, my IOP did not increase during the day. Average was about 11 mm Hg with one reading of 16 during a two-week period. I have noticed more eye color effect than with Latanoprost. No problem with redness so far."
