 3  Glaucoma Works good except for occasional bad batches. I have been using Trusopt for a number of years and it does a good job in keeping the eye pressure down. But, I have just had what I call a bad batch. Eye pain when changing focus to near objects. Renewed prescription and everything back to normal. First time this happened about a year ago I wrote to Merck. They replied that their lab would investigate and a month later another letter from them said that they found nothing wrong with the drops.

 3  Open Angle Glaucoma Stinging shortly after putting the drops in. After initial stinging I have no other side effects and my eyes feel morre comfortable than with any other eye drops I have used. However I have not tried any of the beta blockers. Unfortunately the pressure is still too high and my consultant is suggesting ALT laser procedure. F 63 6 months
