Not really: Unfortunately there is not anything you can do about the iris color change, even if you stop travatan. As for the redness, i'd advise non-preserved artificial tears as it will soothe the eyes. I don't recommend vasoconstrictor agents like visine, which are likely to cause rebound redness if overly used., ; they only mask the redness. Only stopping travatam will eliminate the redness.

Stop the medicine: Both the eye color change and the bloodshot eyes are unwanted side effects from travatan. Your ophthalmologist will need to change you to a different type of medication to lower eye pressure.
