Gravelly Feeling Eyes - Can I take Refresh, Systane....

Posted by cvgn7 @cvgn7, 3 hours ago

I take Dorzolamide-Timolol 2%-0.5% (gel) twice a day and Travaprost Z 0.004% at bedtime for Glaucoma. Can I take some OTC eye drops that will give me relief but not have a bad interaction with my prescription medications?

Welcome @cvgn7, This is a question you really should ask your eye doctor. Members on Connect can share their experience but we are patients like yourself and not able to provide medical advice. Here is some information on the side effects but I would still discuss the question with my doctor first.

Are you able to call your doctor or talk with your pharmacist?
