Allergic reaction to Glaucoma eye drops?

I have the same issues with severe dryness, redness and burning, itching etc... I noticed it earlier this year and have seen my PCP, 4 Ophthalmologists, and an allergist. Still suffering and am to see a Glaucoma specialist in January. I have no confidence that he will be able to help me. I am pretty sure that we will eliminate 1 drop at a time until we find the culprit (I'm on 4) but what if it's environmental? The allergist said I'm not allergic to anything but cats, which I never come in contact with. My vision and vision field are getting worse.
Thanks for letting me vent.

I know the frustration. I've been fighting glaucoma for over 30 years now and have lost a lot of vision. I've been on most of the eye drops and currently am on Pilocarpine, Dorzolomide, and Rocklatan. I don't currently have any irritation or itching, but the pilocarpine constricts my puples so I need more light to see much. Have you been to one of the national eye institutes like Bascom Palmer or Wills where they may have more suggestions? I go about every 5 years to see what is new.
