A member asked:
What antidepressant is safe for glaucoma?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: The use of antidepressants in glaucoma patients depends on how open their "angle" is . Many open angle glaucoma patients can use any antidepressant because they do not have a narrow "angle" your ophthalmologist should be able, based on your exam, to tell you if this is a concern for you.
