is there any alternative to beta blockers to treat glaucoma?
Category: Glaucoma
My glaucoma is controlled with beta blocker drops, and while my pressures are now normal, the side-effects of beta-blockade are ,distressing. Bradycardia, lethargy, breathlessness, physical tiredness to name but a few.
Do you know of any Glaucoma medications that are not beta blockers?
I’d be most grateful for any help and advice,
thanks.

Prostaglandin agonist…latanoprost, acetozonamide, carbonic anhydrase inhibitor….b blocker are not commonly used due to this side effect. Pilocarpine, there re so many with less side effect.
