I’m 60 and have had glaucoma for 6 years. I’ve been on lantanaprost since my diagnosis. A year later my nerve damage continued and was given timerol. A year later more degeneration and was put on brimonodine. Then I had Laser did not make a difference at least not yet. Allergy to brimonodine developed. Went to eye dr today. Eye pressure 14. More degeneration. So sad about it all.

Sorry to hear about your glaucoma issues. I've been fighting glaucoma for over 30 years now. I'm currently on pilocarpine, dorzolamide, and rocklatan which is keeping pressure about 12-13. But over the years I've had a lot of damage, and am currently conaidered legally blind. The only prize is a parking permit to get closer to places for my wife since I can't drive anymore. I'm 81 now and walk slower and more carefully. Have you been to an eye rsearch center like Bascom Palmer or Wills for an examination and second opinion about treatment?
