"With Zioptan, my intraocular pressure fell, in one month, from R15 L14 to R12, L11. My ophthalmologist is delighted.

"After trying five glaucoma meds to which I was allergic to all of them, I was ecstatic to find Zioptan. Not only did my pressures drop tremendously and stay there, but I finally had no side effects. There are no preservatives in Zioptan. The preservatives in most of the other meds gave me allergic reactions."

"I have been using Zioptan for a little over a year. I had developed allergies to the preservatives in my previous drops, and Zioptan has been a wonderful change. My pressures are normal, and the swelling, itching, and peeling of my eyelids and the skin around my eyes has totally cleared up."
