I've been on pressure-lowering eyedrops for 16 months. I'm doing well, first using Xalatan, then Lumigan, then Xalatan again. My pressures are 15 and 13. I also had laser treatment once which was helpful.

I was on drops for about 3 years (xalatan, azopt) and I've also tried beta blocker type drops that made my heart slow down to much so I had to discontinue.
Now I'm not using drops cause my cataract surgery caused my pressures to drop to within normal ranges. Doc said pressures may stay normal or may rise again. (hope not!)

I was on lumigan, and xalatan for for about two years until I had laser surgery to open the ducts so the fluid could drain out of the eye. That was the best thing I could hav edone. Ask your doctor about the laser surgery options. Good luck sandy
