I have used Travatan Z for over two years. It lowered my pressure but not low enough to be back in the normal range. My doc then added levobunolol and my pressure is now well into the normal range. I have had no noticeable side effects with either drug. I keep track of my Travatan Z usage. I have averaged 44 drops per 2.5 ml bottle over a two year period.

I have used Travatan Z for over two years. It lowered my pressure but not low enough to be back in the normal range. My doc then added levobunolol and my pressure is now well into the normal range. I have had no noticeable side effects with either drug. I keep track of my Travatan Z usage. I have averaged 44 drops per 2.5 ml bottle over a two year period. My previous supplier provided 5 bottles for my 90 day prescription which gave me 110 days of coverage on average. My current supplier as of 1/1/19 (different insurance) only provides 3 bottles for a 90 day prescription which is not enough to cover all 90 days. This supplier claims that I should get 80 drops per bottle which is way more than I ever got. Not sure what to do now. I cannot find any information from the manufacturer as to how many drops one should expect from a 2.5 ml bottle.

Comment:
Easy to use . My pressure has maintained 16,17 or 18. HOWEVER, I AM VERY UPSET WITH THE EXTREMELY DARK CIRCLES UNDER MY EYES SINCE I STARTED THE MED. I look ill. I have never had dark circles under my eyes. Other than that have only experienced long lashes (nice).

Horrible eye drops for me. Used them for 5 weeks. Extreme dry eyes and throat, eye itchiness, headaches, eye pain, stopped using and side effects still going after 10 days.

It caused my eyes to get blurry, headache, sensitive to light, my brain felt like the blood vessels were either opening or closing and felt funny. Medication caused my sinus to get sinus headaches and runny nose...upset stomach...sticky/dry eyes, sensitive to light. I have been off for a few days and still having trouble with blurriness.

travatan did lower my IOP from 20/23 to 16/17 respectively left to right eye after 14 days of instilling drops at bed time.However the side effects of blurred vision and vision changes are very troublesome. aside from these noted side effects my eyes became highly sensitive to light and I experienced the first week of use low BP which is unusual as I am also taking Verapamil for Hypertension.today I experienced an episode of an abnormally slow heartbeat and a very high BP.As today was my follow up Appt. with my Ophthalmologist and hearing my adverse reactions he discontinued the Travatan but also not adding a new Medication at this time and we had some time to attempt a different drug on my next visit, his remark was that this Beta blocker acts like a poison in my case.the other symptoms less severe with Travatan were itchy eyes, red splotches under my eyes and irritated eyes.
