A member asked:

What to do if i have recently started eye drops (alphagan)for glaucoma & have become dizzy, every day?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Change the drop: If alphagan (brimonidine) causes dizziness (and you known of no other cause) then discuss with your ophthalmologist about alternative pressure lowering drops of which there are many. You need the drop to lower the eye pressure and should not be discouraged by side effects.
