    It is very helpful to hear the specifics regarding these eye drops. The information that comes with the medication is difficult to comprehend and it is very seldom that the doctors have the time to talk about the benefits and contraindications. Much appreciation for your time and education on these topical treatments. Thank you.

      So glad you found this video informative. I am accepting new patients. My practice is located just south of Pasadena, California (in the greater Los Angeles area).

    Been on latanoprost for 3-4 years. Doc says pressure went up - was 14 now 20 - so last week started me on B&L .2% generic brimonidine; after 3 days experiecing itching, discharge and pain around the eyes. Have not called Dr. yet they are a large chain clinic always too busy. So far reading and watching videos there does not appear to be alternatives but the info about less dosage and preservatives is helpful. Thanks for the careful walk through.

    Thank you for your videos! Your discussions are clear, informative, and beneficial. Most doctors now days don't take the time to explain the what, why and how of their medical actions. Few doctors like yourself are born with that personal touch especially important when patients are worried about their current treatments.

    So helpful. I am very grateful you giving critical information with best knowledge in the field. I was very frustrated when my doctor just telling me to choose between timolol and carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. I don't think he knows all my medical history... I tried study myself for meds and this video is the best. I am more comfortable what should I choose. Thank you very much!

    Thanks so much for this :). I wonder if this type of eye drops is the best option for patients that have congenital corneal thinning together with glaucoma

    Great video doctor, very in-depth and informative. Following with the theme of neuroprotection, have you heard about the research being done on noran protein? Sounds like it could be a game-changer for people with retinal damage. Curious if there is any connection with glaucoma or if there are any promising neuroprotective treatments for glaucoma in the works? Also, is the raised eyelid side effect permanent or only during use of this drug?

    • @lynnemaitland3767
      @lynnemaitland3767 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The raised eyelid occurs only when using the drops. As the day goes on, the lid goes back to normal level until using the next drop dose.

    • @willaaxenfield9692
      @willaaxenfield9692 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I also have the raised eyelid side effect. Unfortunately, I’m only using the drop in one eye so it is quite noticeable to me.

    Dr. Richardson-what about safety during pregnancy? I noticed that was left out.

    I wished I watched this before my First visit today. I was prescribed Drops, don't know which brand,( haven't picked up yet) but the possible side effects the doctor described were the red eye, eyelash growth and darkening around the eyes. Wasn't too happy with these. I'm sure they have a preservative in them. I doubt it'll have the purite one.

      @DrDavidDRichardsonMDSanMarino  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Although I cannot make a specific recommendation for you, I can share what I often recommend for my patients with allergic conjunctivitis: preservative-free Alaway (ketotifen).

    What is your opinion of timoptic xe, ive been prescribed it and cant stand how cold it makes me, i work in the cold btw -30c. I dont want to continue with this medication as it affects my entire hot cold tolerance at work. My follow up appointment is coming up and im gonna ask for an alternative that doesnt affect my entire body like the timoptic xe does. Do you have any suggestions that i could mention, the drops are only for one eye and only one drop a day. Even if you dont have any suggestions that's fine, thanks for this great information regardless.

    My issue is with exhaustion and low heart rate 52-60bpm with timilol. Will I get this with bromonidine? Is a betaxoloyl any good? What about red eyes anything I can do when starting Bromonidine?
