I was prescribed Carteolol Hcl 1% Oph Sol 10ml for glaucoma, and while it's been effective in lowering my eye pressure, I've been experiencing some concerning side effects. I've had a persistent burning sensation in my eyes, excessive tearing, and some dizziness. I've also been having trouble sleeping. I'm worried about these symptoms, as some people have reported muscle weakness and shortness of breath. Has anyone else had similar experiences, or should I talk to my doctor about switching medications? I'd also be interested in hearing from anyone who has had a different or better experience with this medication. Let’s share our experiences and hopefully, someone can offer some useful advice. It’s always helpful to hear from others who have gone through similar situations.
