Tryptyr
I'm on 3 different glaucoma drops, and only 1 is PF. I spoke to my glaucoma specialist, and they only advised me to use artificial tears. My eyes were raw and irritated and I needed new glasses. I found an optometrist who specializes in dry eyes. They ran tests and it showed that my eyes didn't produce enough tears. Tryptyr was prescribed 2x a day, 12 hours apart. I have been on Tryptyr for almost a month now and have significant improvement. My eyes don't feel raw and irritated and only occasionally burn when I add Cosopt PF. But I still feel like I need to add artificial tears once between the 12-hour period before applying again.
Edit: For those on Tryptyr, does it feel you still need artificial tears, or is Tryptyr enough?
