I was prescribed Brimonidine 0.15% Ophthalmic Solution for my glaucoma and have been using it for a few weeks now. While it seems to be doing its job in lowering the pressure in my eye, I've been experiencing some pretty uncomfortable side effects like burning sensations, blurred vision and a feeling of something constantly in my eye. I know it can cause these but I guess I was hoping for a smoother experience. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm wondering if it's worth sticking it out despite these symptoms. Does anyone know if these side effects will go away with time, or should I be considering an alternative? Thanks in advance for any insights.
