For Glaucoma, Open Angle "I used Rhopressa for 14 days, and on day 15, woke up with horrible vertigo and vomiting. Didn't know what caused it and kept using it for one more week when I finally realized it was a reaction from the eyedrop. My neck ached, my shoulders, horrible vertigo, which lasted for weeks until I got it out of my system."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "The following day I started on Rhopressa, I was nauseous with pain in my eyes. I continued for 4 more days until I was bedridden with a severe migraine headache. I was seeing floating colored rainbows. My body ached as if I had the flu. I discontinued after one week. Two days after discontinuing Rhopressa, I felt much better. My doctor put me on Azopt in place of Rhopressa. Thus far, no side effects."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "My ophthalmologist prescribed Rhopressa and asked that I visit in 6 weeks to see how it worked for me. The next day I awoke to bloodshot eyes. No other symptoms. I called and told him. His nurse advised that I continue. I did, and the redness did not go away but subsided by noon. Fast forward 5 weeks later. My right eye felt like something was in it. A few days later, it was so bad…dry and gritty. I told my doctor, and he insisted that I continue using Rhopressa. I regret ever listening to him. It was a Friday night and my eye was so bad, it felt like someone was pouring sand in my eyes…I have never experienced pain as intense as that in my life. I stopped taking the Rhopressa on my own. The pain and redness went away, but my eye is still feeling some residual effects. This was last week, so I am praying to the Good Lord that I get back to my normal self. If you experience redness, just throw that mess in the trash."
