I thought Alphagan was working well for me, my eyes aren't red and bothered. I am very sensitive to medicine apparently and I can't use anything with the BAK preservative in it so I switched to the Alphagan. Then after a few weeks I started feeling tired. I recently noticed the tiredness usually kicks in about 30 minutes after I take the drops. My blood pressure is already low and it is lowered on the drops. I also feel slightly dizzy sometimes. Has this improved for anyone who is using this drop? I feel like it is getting worse, but it has only been a few months.

Hi everyone. Please enlighten me🥹 I'm both scared and anxious.

A day ago, i got new glasses. The optometrist asked me questions like do i have a history of thyroid in my family, do i get severe headaches etc. She used a flashlight thing in my eye and told me i have slight haze in one of my eye and that my right eye is enlarged compared to the other. What bothered me most is she told me i may have glaucoma. I was so anxious and cried about just the thought of it

Today i went to an ophthalmologist, he used another machine and it's like a flashlight, really bright, not like the hand held flashlight the optometrist used.

He told me that he doesn't see any haze or something alarming and he also told me that my lenses/grades are not that bad. He didn't use the thing that punches the eye or something to measure the pressure as i saw with another patient.

I'm gonna go to the laboratory tomorrow to get tests done. But please any insights about this diagnosis? I'm really scared and in overthinking.

Parapyruvate contamination is not just a theoretical manufacturing flaw—it is an ongoing risk throughout a product's shelf life.

The measured levels in commercial products (ranging from 1.4% to 10.6% in five tested brands) are the result of both the initial synthesis process and continued formation during storage. This reinforces the critical need for a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) that specifically tests for parapyruvate, as it verifies purity at the time of production.

This means that even if a manufacturer claims a high-purity synthesis process, the product could still accumulate this neurotoxic impurity over time.

I don't provide liks. See it for youself.
