What if i forget to take my glaucoma eye drops?

Not a good idea: In most cases of glaucoma, rarely (once or twice a year) omitting eye drops will not create a serious problem. However, if you have visual loss from glaucoma, having the pressure go up even briefly may cause further loss of vision.

Take them when...: If you miss a dose of eye drops, put them in as soon as you realize it, and then resume your regular schedule afterwards.
