Narrow angle: If you have narrow angle glaucoma, you should have or already have laser peripheral iridotomies performed. Once these lasers are performed, the medication will not have nay significant effect on the eyes.

May trigger attack: See an ophthalmologist for an exam and gonioscopy to determine your risk for narrow angle glaucoma. If you have already been treated with a laser peripheral iridotomy, then you should be safe, but it is still important to monitor your intraocular pressure when starting this medication.
