"After having tried four previous drops, my doctor gave me Zioptan and my pressures came down immediately. My eyes are extremely dry, so I also have to use liquid tears every two hours."

"I tried 2 other drops before being prescribed Zioptan. I have Sjögren's and suffer from dry eyes. This medication does make it worse, but used in combination with Refresh Relieva PF several times a day, helps relieve the dryness. I have also developed a nasal drip that occurs overnight, so I wake up with a cough, but it clears in about an hour. I can live with these two side effects. After using it for 2+ months, the pressure in my eyes went from 22 in both eyes down to 18 in both eyes. My doctor was hoping it would go down much more to 14 or 15. Will see her again in 6 months and may have to add a second drop or consider laser treatment."
