Rebecca Harris –
About five years ago, I was diagnosed of having increased pressure in my eyes after a test gave me a result of 26. My doctor prescribed me with timolol drops and this travoprost drops. When I went back for my follow-up, my pressure was below 15 and have maintained that for years. My pressure increased again last year and I was back on the drops. Thankfully, it is still very effective for me that I didn’t have any problems bringing it down to less than 15 again with the help of the meds. The pain went away too.
