Brought pressure down from 19 to 13 in just 5 days. Using Timolol twice a day with it. Timolol wasn't keeping pressure down by it self. Side effects after two weeks aren't too bad. Eyes a little red, water sometimes and acuity off just a small bit, but not worth stopping for that. My nerve has a lot of damage so if this will keep pressure down I can deal with these small side effects. Bett ... Show Full Comment

I was given Rhopressa about 6 months ago along with my other 3 drops (using 6 times a day) when my pressure was higher than the doctor wanted.

I was given Rhopressa about 6 months ago along with my other 3 drops (using 6 times a day) when my pressure was higher than the doctor wanted. From the beginning I experience the watering eyes and was told it is one of the side effects but would stop after a couple weeks. When it didn't I chalked it up to allergies but now that this much time has past and I don't have allergies in off season, I began looking into the fact the it is still the cause of the Rhopressa. I have been surprised at how many of the reviews I have read that are so similar to what I am experiencing. I have an appointment with my doctor next week and intend to have a conversation with her to hopefully eliminate the use any longer. Does it help the pressure? Hard to say because it still appears to go up and down. I'm tired of my eyes watering, itching and being puffy all the time. Very unpleasant side effects. And don't even get me started on how it has been to even get a prescription filled for it. Don't recommend it at all.

My doctor added Rhopressa to my regimen of drops in an effort to get my pressures lower. The drug was somewhat effective and lowered pressures by about 2-3 points. However, after about four months on Rhopressa, I began to to experience severe redness, near-constant severe itching of the eyelids, excessing tearing and crushing of the eyelids. It became unbearable. Stopped the Rhopressa and treated the eyes with a steroid drop until the problem went away. After a couple of months, tried restarting the Rhopressa and the adverse effects returned within two days. So unfortunately, I cannot continue to use it. It seems as if I might be allergic to the drug or its preservative.
