A member asked:

But i have open angle glaucoma. still contraindicated?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: You are probably responding to a disclaimer on a drug that has been prescribed for a non-eye issue. These disclaimers refer to closed angle glaucoma, not the type you have. So you can use the drug with no worries. If you send another question and name the drug, I can be absolutely certain for you.
