Are sleeping pills dangerous for person with glaucoma?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It depends.: Open angle glaucoma usually cannot be worsened by typical sleeping remedies. Narrow or closed-angle glaucoma, or phacomorphic glaucoma, can be worsened by these remedies. You should confirm your type of glaucoma with your ophthalmologist.

In some cases: If you have narrow angle glaucoma that has not been treated with laser, you cannot take these medications. Otherwise it is okay.
