" Hi Queenie,
I was dx with glaucoma over a year ago. Was put Xalatan like you and I'm also on Azopt. The eye dr. put me on Lumigan like you. I don't know what the outcome will be, I find out the end of this month. Glad you're doing ok with it. "

" Hi Dotti ~ I used Lumigan for a while, but now am on Xalatan once again. I had a laser treatment too in the meantime. Hope Lumigan helps - I got about the same result as with Xalatan. Pat "

" My brother was on Lumigan for over a year. Recently, it was no longer working for him, so he is on something else now. Lumigan was working well for him at first, but seemed to lose its effectiveness. I am on Timolol at the moment. "
