I developed an eye allergy after being on this medication for 1 year. There were no side effects until now. My eyes started itching, I had a lot of redness in the eyes and around the outside of the eyes. Also, dry scaly skin on the eyelids and under the eyes. My eye dr. said that an allergy can sometimes develop from this medication, even after taking it for a length of time. So the dr. said to stop taking it for now, and gave me a prescription ointment to use on the eyelids, and its much better now. I would not use Brimonidine again, although it did lower the pressure.

This is one of three different drops I am using. I began on it three weeks ago and have had terrible drozziness and lowered blood pressure.I don't know yet if it has lowered the pressure in my eyes yet as my check up is next week.

I have been on Brimondine Tartrate Opt for the treatment of open-angled Glaucoma and at first was fine with switching to this medication as the last med I as on was beta-blocker and I was not able to take anymore due to possible adverse reaction to allergy shots I am required to take. In the past two months I have gone through eye allergy hell-I am certain I have developed an allergy to this drop yet my healthcare does not feel so. I have developed a severe sensitivity to light (even indoor lights), have terrible bloodshot eyes that go away when I stopped taking this drop for a few days, and have constant horrible looking scabs that have developed under my eyes (I have a blister that then turns into scabs)these resemble black eyes that look horrible and hurt. I would not recommend this medication at all although it has lowered my pressure numbers my eyes look like I've been in a fight.

Very satisfied with this medication. The drug lowers the pressure on the eye with no side effects.
