I have high IOP. I had the SLT laser surgery and it dropped but not enough so the dr wants me to take beta blocker eye drops. Im scared to death to take them after reading the side effects. I also have Graves disease and its not under contol right now so Im having lots of problems with that.

I was on lumigan and developed a horrible rash and had to quit.

Anyone use these drops and have you had any side effects?
