A member asked:
Travatan lower pressure from 31 to 16, but have red eyes, starting eye color change, darkening skin. should i put up with side effects or try cosopt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Personal choice: The travatan is obviously doing its primary job: to lower the eye pressure to a safe level. But there are optional medications. If the side effects are troublesome and you would like to try alternatives, discuss with your ophthalmologist to trial another eyedrop of the many alternatives.
