questions
In the summer, I noticed sporadic noises in one ear. It only happened at night, when lying down to sleep. It was almost like a deep and faint squeak. It lasted 2 days and went away. Months later, after developing a sinus cold, it returned. I did not react immediately as I thought it would pass. After

High IOP after removal of ICL lens. Dilemma…
Meanwhile I’m now on 4 types of glaucoma
eye
drops
. Cosopt,
alphagan
, glanatec & eybelis, but the pressure still ups and down. The pressure will still be around 20-30 range even without any eye drops (I tried it for few days recently), so I stopped the drops.

No change to my right eye but my left eye continues to lose peripheral vision. The pressure was elevated even

Simbrinza eye drops
I have been prescribed Simbrinza eye drops as a new method of treatment to bring my eye pressures down. My eye pressures are 23 and 20. These new drops are to be taken twice a day together with Bimatoprost once per day. I have done some background reading on these new drops and the side effects were

Monopost Eye Drops
Hi, does anyone know of an alternative eye drop to monopost. I have been prescribed this to take in each eye once a day at night but after 2 weeks am finding it unbearable even though I am using eye lubrication drops to try and help with the itchy soreness.

Simbrinza shortage?
Over the years my opthamologist and I have settled on Simbrinza eye drops as the best for my glaucoma. Yesterday my pharmacist tells me he can't find the drops anywhere and he's going to keep looking. We're in SE London area. Any suggestions? Thanks

Taking Ibuprofen whilst on Cosopt eye drops
Good morning, I am suffering from bad lower backache, I wanted to check if I am ok to take Ibuporfen whilst taking Cosopt eye drops twice a day. I have looked online etc but cannot find anything. I have taken Paracetamol but it’s just not shifting. Many thanks

Hair thinning
This is probably a silly question, however I have had multiple different eye drops over the past 7 years for my Glaucoma, and are currently using Travatan and Combigan. Had anybody noticed any changes in hair thinning or hair loss. I seem to have thinning of my hair and are concerned, if this continues

Iopidine
Hello everyone, is anyone having problem with getting GP to prescibe Iopidine eye drops? My GP is refusing to prescribe it, saying its coming up as a red flag. Does anyone know what it means? This was prescribed by a consultant at hospital on 22nd March, when I was put on a waiting list for presserflo

is yoga ok?
I’ve very recently been diagnosed with glaucoma after losing sight in the top half of my right eye, which has been a real shock. I’ve been going to Yoga and Pilates classes for a number of years, both of which I feel have helped with a back issue and have kept me fit and very active at 67, I’m loath

cataract
Hi all, I realise cataracts are commonplace from Steroid use . I’ve had one for years, possibly from a childhood eye injury. It’s now becoming a problem , affecting my sight. It’s Encapsulated, not as straightforward. My main concern is healing. It took a year for my leg to heal. Do you advise
