I am using Xalatan, but also taking Lipitor for cholesterol. In the Lipitor
contraindications it says not to use if you have glaucoma. My opthomologist
said this was an early concern that was later proven wrong and should not be a
concern.

Does anyone have a comment on this? I am concerned since I believe my night
vision has deterioriated since beginning this med.

I also take Lipitor and my eye doc knows but has no concerns.

I'd like a study done on those that have high cholesterol AND
glaucoma. Are they related??? The illness, not the people! :-)

I have glaucoma and also take 80mg Lipitor daily. The only concern is
liver damage, they tell me not to worry about any implications with
glaucoma.
