For Glaucoma, Narrow Angle "I was prescribed pilocarpine drops for suspected narrow-angle glaucoma. Two ophthalmologists disagree as to what exactly I have - narrow vs. open-angle glaucoma. Took these drops before bed until I was able to meet with ophthalmologist #2 for 1 month. In one eye, it created a cellophane effect - my vision in that eye was like looking through cellophane. Stopped using the drops, and my vision cleared up. Warning: The first time I administered the drops, I had a severe headache. It went around my head from the ears up and lasted about 1 hour. Gradually, the headaches subsided. Except for the cellophane effect, my eyes did 'feel' better. Off to find a 3rd ophthalmologist to find out what they diagnose me with!"

Pilocarpine ophthalmic for Presbyopia "I did not find this product to work at all, unless you count literal minutes of clear vision on a single day out of a 30-day period. There was only a few minutes of a single day out of a 30-day period where I was able to read my phone without glasses. I’d read on only a single website it takes about 7 days of use to see the full effect, however, no other site, including Vuity’s site, mentions this. I did not notice any difference after 7 days of use and still no difference after 30 days. I’d say skip this product. It is expensive and doesn’t work."
