BIMATOPROST vs DORZOLAMIDE

Hey all, as the title says, doing some education for non clinical (admin) colleagues for their interest only. They were curious on how medicines are discovered and developed and so put it as part of their professional development plan. Trying to include as many “fun” and out of the box examples as

Hi there! My left eye is diagnosed with glaucoma and I lost nearly 70% of my my vision with that eye. I had already undergone the eye surgery to release the liquid out. The doctor prescribed me to use Brinzolamide eye drops for maintenance (to be applied in both eyes). Using that drug, both my eyes

I am [24M] I was born with Cataract in both eyes and went into surgery to fix it, my eyesight was never good and is categorised as low vision. So around 6 years ago I had retinal detachment in both eyes and unfortunately I totally lost my sight on my left eye and as a consequence of the treatment

**TL;DR:** My mom was misdiagnosed three times with open-angle glaucoma when it was actually angle-closure. Despite maximum topical therapy, IOP is still too high, very narrow angles, and confirmed nerve fiber loss. Fourth doctor recommends lens extraction (clear lens, no cataract, so IOL or intraoc

I am a NZ male, 71 years of age. I have a problem with oily tears and a weeping right eye. My tear ducts have been checked by a consulting eye surgeon and they are fine. I have worn contact lenses since I was 18 for short sightedness. This stabilised my eyesight. More recently before COVID an issue

I am currently in Thailand and just before I went I got Lumigan (0,1% bimatoprost) prescribed because I had elevated eyepressure. I did not have time to get glacoma diagnosed, but had my pressure checked at the optician and the doctor a few days apart with the same results. In Thailand I can get Lum

Has anyone ever did any hair loss solutions/sprays/foams/shampoos with bimatoprost in it? It's so expensive and we had an office ask if we could do it but there was confusion on if the bimatoprost aspect was intended to be 0.01% or 0.03%. So I guess what I'm asking is for any recommendations on the

i’m 20F i have been using a lash serum containing a prostaglandin analogue (latanoprost) for a little over a month and noticed that my right eyelid seems to be drooping. i definitely lost some fat around my eye which i’m not too concerned about but i really don’t want my eyelid drooping like that. o

I've been taking Rocklatan for about three months now and the discomfort is really getting to me. (And the stares I get for my "stoner" eyes, even after taking Lumify.) I had only tried Latanoprost and Vyzulta before the Rocklatan but they didn't do much to relieve my pressures, which had been as hi

I work at the corner of happy and healthy in an area that's a bunch of small towns. There's several stores in the area that are within 30ish minutes of each other, and I live in a place that's between several of them. As such, there's multiple stores that are within 10-20 minutes of my home that ar

Yara had her right eye removal today, she did well. I didn’t expect her to look so rough it was kind of jarring. Since she has primary glaucoma they have her on eye drops for her remaining eye. They want me to give her dorzolamide/timolol 2x a day and prednisolone acetate 1x a day in her left eye AN

My baby Kai woke up today with a very cloudy eye that he refused to open. I rushed him to the emergency vet who transferred him to another emergency vet and I was told he likely has anterior lens luxation. His pressure was 76 at one point and dropped to 45 the last we checked after administering dor

Hello everyone, I’m 28/M. About 7 months ago, I was told I have pigment dispersion syndrome. At that time, a visual field test and an OCT were performed. My IOP back then was around 25-27 mmHg in both eyes. Stupid me didn’t realize how serious this was at the time and probably went around like that

Can anyone who has had their cat go through a double enucleation (eye removal) share their experience? I have a 15 year old diabetic cat who lost his vision almost a year ago. He was diagnosed with glaucoma and put on Dorzolamide to try to keep his eye pressure under control. During his latest rech
