I have been diagnosed with normal-tension glaucoma. I have been using Lotacryn/Latanoprost eye drops for three weeks and I was wondering how people got on with them. My eyes are redder, drier and sore which seems to be expected.
A couple of questions
- Does it get better with long-term use?
- Am I just on these forever now?
- I am worried about the darkening around my eyes - I already have a tendencey towards melasma, I can't tell really if it's happening atm - how long does it take to show?
- I don't hate these drops, but it isn't great and I would rather have an operation if possible - has anyone done this?
I will see the consultant again in 6 weeks to see if the pressure has dropped, I guess.
