For Glaucoma, Open Angle "Ruined my life for a week. I could not see much because of blurred vision and loss of acuity. This is a terrible ocular pressure treatment. I did not return to the doctor who prescribed this treatment. Actually, he helped to develop the drug."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "I have normal tension glaucoma and recent pressure was way up. Asked Doc if there were any new drugs, and he gave me a trial sample of Rhopressa. After the first use, I woke up with burning, red eyes. When working on my computer at work, I noticed extreme blurriness. Also felt a little dizzy and continual fuzzy vision. This is the worst experience with any glaucoma drop I have tried over the past 10 years. I don't understand why no one can develop a more effective drug with minimal side effects."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "I have had juvenile glaucoma for many years. I've been taking Rhopressa for several months, but at times I had to stop temporarily due to bad side effects, including swelling of the eyelid, blurred and distorted vision. When I went back to lumigan and my other medications, the pressure was more elevated than before starting Rhopressa. Due to the high pressure, I went back to Rhopressa. However, after a recent three-week period back on Rhopressa, the pressure is elevated again."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "Blurred vision and loss of sharpness to the point of feeling like I could not see! Was going to see about new eyeglasses till I learned that these were side effects. Have used the drug about 6 weeks. Was using a sample, so have not bought the drug. No insurance. Do not plan to continue using, especially due to side effects, too, the retail price is prohibitive."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "I have been prescribed already 3 eye drops. But these drops are the worst. Burning, stinging eyes, redness, and my vision blurry. Got worried because my vision is blurry. Thank you all for the reviews. Will definitely discontinue tonight. Calling the doctor on Monday."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "Have been using Rhopressa once a day for a few weeks in one eye. My vision is so bad since starting this drug, I can barely drive or see my face in the mirror. It is frightening how severe the vision blurriness and lack of acuity are. Now the edges of my eyelid are red, swollen, flaky. My eye burns constantly. Nightmare in a bottle."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "I tried this drug 3 times. From the first use, I couldn't tolerate it. This time I tried it again, and I experienced worsened blurry vision for 3 days, eye pain, and red eyes. I'm done with this, I don’t care about the doctor getting mad, I’m mad too, it’s awful."

For Intraocular Hypertension "I was diagnosed with ocular hypertension about 4 years ago. I kept it under control with Travatan-Z for about three years, and then the pressure started to creep up again. My doctor added Rhopressa to my regimen, and it has helped keep the pressure down (below 20). However, the Rhopressa has the unpleasant side effect of watery eyes, which gives me blurred vision - mainly when reading or at the computer. It also causes some eye irritation and redness. I've tried at least three other types of drops, but all have their drawbacks. For me, Travatan-Z has the least side effects, but doesn't seem to do the job anymore."
