For Glaucoma, Open Angle "This medication caused my eyes to be red and dry from day one. After 5 weeks, my eyes became not only red but unbearably itchy and swollen. I stopped putting the single drop per night as prescribed. My eyes are still red, itchy, and swollen a week after I've stopped using Rocklatan. My optometrist said he will prescribe a different eye drop that has a lower rate of side effects once these side effects are gone."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "I took Rocklatan for 3 weeks, then saw my eye Dr. My pressure was lower by 3 or 4 points. So we thought it was going to work. Then, when I had been using the drop for 5 weeks, my eyes were so dry, red, and itchy I had to start using lubricating drops 2-3 times a day. After another week, I called my Dr., and he took me off Rocklatan. I had been using Latanoprost and Timolol for a couple of years already, with no side effects. After being off Rocklatan for a week, my eyes are still dry, itchy, and still red."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "I experienced glaucoma open angle in both of my eyes-red eyes, burning, watering, very extreme itchiness of the eyelashes, eyelids, and tear ducts, a feeling something was crawling in my eyes and in my tear ducts. I'd get a gritty feeling like a speck of sand was in my eye. My nasal area by my tear duct itched. My skin felt very sensitive when water would touch my eye area and forehead area. I could not apply any kind of cream on my eye area without it becoming irritated, eye pain at times. My reaction started about two months after I started using Rocklatan. My doctor just recently took me off of Rocklatan, and slowly things are improving. My eye pressure did drop using Rocklatan when taken with another drop, I just happened to have an allergy reaction to Rocklatan."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "After about 6 weeks, bloodshot eyes, followed by unbearable itching, and finally puffy bags under eyes drooping to cheeks. Horrible. I stopped immediately. I had perfect skin before, I look terrible now. Will these bags go away? Wish I could attach a picture."
