"I have been on this medication for over 5 years with no side effects and it has lowered my eye pressure. I rate this medication more favorably than Betoptic, which I was previously on, which was less effective and always left a stain on my face/eye area after it dried."

"I have been using Xalatan for two months for narrow-angle glaucoma. Within 3 weeks, I started experiencing throat constriction, flu-like symptoms, and feeling very tired. Not doing well at all on this drug. Awful stuff!"

"This is better than LUMIGAN. LUMIGAN gave me flu-like joint symptoms. Have stinging pain, but tolerable. At least Xalatan doesn’t have flu-like pains. Though by 5:30 pm each day, my eyes and eye areas are super burning. Had to use aloe vera sunburn creams and cucumber (it was either that or a packet of frozen peas on my face). FYI, laser didn’t change my pressure, turns out it only works for 80 percent of people. Re Xalatan, I’m not sure I can tolerate this extreme sunburnt for that long."

"I seem to be having a lot of irritation and eyes are watering constantly, also very blood shot. Hope this all passes."

"Gives me a very red eye as well. Tried latanoprost, this one makes my eye very dry. I never had any issues with dry eye before while using any other eye drops."

"After 4-5 months on the med, I am having a problem of discomfort in one eye. Feels like a foreign body. Cannot use latanoprost two days straight as the left eye feels like I have something in it. I am seeing the doctor tomorrow. Hope he can fix the problem."
