A member asked:
I was started on latanoprost.0005% drops 4 weeks ago for ocular hypertension in both eyes. how long before i should be seen again?

Now: When starting a new glaucoma drop, you should be checked in 2-3 weeks to address the efficacy. I have seem major problems with efficacy with this particular generic so it's really important to make sure it is working. Also be sure to refrigerate the drop.
