"This medication is excellent with no side effects for me; however, the generic Timolol does not work nearly as well. Timolol has the same side effects as Xalatan and others that include headaches, migraines, dry eye, having to use twice as much, and blurred vision. I do try new medications as they come out, but all of them have had the same side effects that are not acceptable, i.e. migraines and blurred vision, burning, itchy eyes. Most pharmacies and drug companies encourage generics, but I do not think it has the exact formula as the name brand; this includes Canadian drug companies and pharmacies."

"This has been the best medication for my glaucoma. Stings a little, but has controlled my pressures. I have not been able to use any of the drops such as Alphagan, Xalatan, etc., as I have an adverse reaction, i.e., migraine, drying and scratchy eye, very sensitive to light, etc."
