Was it here that someone recently posted a link to a British Medical
Journal article about glaucoma eye drops and chronic pulmonary problems?
If so, could you please post the link again?

Any progress on research to support forskolin in treatment of glaucoma?
If anybody has any contacts at universities, drug companies, or med
institutions where research is being done, I'm interested.I take
forskolin capsules from PhytoPharmica and have found that in addition to

I diagnosed with glaucoma in both eyes a couple years ago.  Symptom
was seeing halos around light and I still see them.  I am taking ,
Xalatan, and Alphagan twice a day every day of my life. I have been on
Timolol, Betoptic, and every other drop out there and also have had a

Oct 28 I am scheduled for my first trab and have been asked to sign an
Informed Consent form regarding the use of Mitomycin-C and 5-Fluorouracil.
At the bottom of the form, I am supposed to check either "use the
antimetabolites...." or "not to use...." during my operation after

I just read the contraindications on Xanax and glaucoma is among them.
Since it takes me two to three years to use up a bottle of 30 pills,

I had a check up Friday and I'm glad to say that my IOP was back to 14

I'm 59 now and I got my first eyedrops more than 3 years ago, when my IOP
was measured between 24 en 27. I started with Timoptol (timolol), but it

drops, like Alphagan, Xalatan, Cosopt and I must have forgotten ...

not comfortable at all in morning.

Does spending a lot of time in front of a computer monitor have any effect
on causing glaucoma?

I have been taking .5% Timolol for years with pressure nevertheless around
25. No visible optic nerve damage, excellent field of vision (Humphrey
machine I think it is). A month ago I realized in a movie theater that my
vision in the right eye was dimmer and less clear than my left.

As I read this forum I get a little fearful.  I have recently been

everyone eventually have to have operations? How long have any of you
used drops only?
