My last comment doesn't seem to have posted, so I hope this doesn't turn out to be a duplicate.
I take Timolol Maleate. My eye pressure has been normal since I started it. I don't like that it's a beta blocker, but I press on my tear ducts for a couple of minutes after application to try to prevent anything from absorbing into my system. That doesn't stop me from missing my eyes and getting drips on my face though.
My eye doctor likes it because it's uncomplicated to use and effective, but would be willing to put me on something else. I told him that I'd wait a while after I was off of prednisone before stopping it. I would contact him before I took any action. My impression was that other options that had fewer potential side effects might require more than one medication.
