I've been using Pilocarpine 4% eye drops for the past month to manage my glaucoma. Initially, I was cautious due to the side effects listed. I had heard stories from my doctor and friends about it being a game-changer for some but a nightmare for others. After a few weeks, I've experienced some mild irritation and temporary dimness, but nothing severe. The eye pressure has significantly improved, which is a relief. I am curious to hear from others: has anyone had severe side effects, or is it mostly manageable? Also, does anyone know if there are alternative treatments that might be worth trying?
