Hi Donnie,

Cosopt has always been a bit of a problem for me too. I wouldn't describe it
as "painful" but I am certainly aware that it's a bit astringent when I
apply it. I have found that I have to carefully place the liquid in the
"pocket" formed when I pull my bottom eyelid down. If you get the medicine
in the little pocket and not directly onto your eye ball it certainly helps.
You have to gently hold the pad of your finger to the tear duct after
application, that seems to help too. If you knew all this, I apologise for
trying to teach  you to suck eggs. The other possibility is that you have an
adverse reaction to this particular medication. Maybe you should discuss
this with your specialist.

its not uncommon for young people to have pigmentary glaucoma.  It
usually responds pretty well to laser.  you may end up needing
glaucoma surgery, but if you're managed well, you should not go blind.

You will likely need to see your glaucoma doctor regularly for the
rest of your life.
