Working / Worked
A good in many cases. 2xday both eyes.
Working / Worked
This seems to be working for me so far. It does sting a little going in, but I have had no side effects. Things look a lot brighter to me now, which is great.
Working / Worked
I reckon it is working, but I really don't know.
Working / Worked
I am forced to use timpotic in the ocudose, since it is more gentler. No preservatives. The side effects are discharge, and itchy dry eyes.
Working / Worked
It stings & makes my eyesight more blurry I guess because it dialates me. But I'm using it 2X a day, along w/ Prednisone drops.
Working / Worked
Seems to help a little less headaches but I lowered the dosage to 12 i.e. 5 mg. 2xday because I didnt like the side effects. Was tired and it was harder to exercise.
Working / Worked
I used Timoptic drops for 6 years for borderline glaucoma and it completely took my level to normal.
